The draft and the offensive line

A TE may get reps...does not mean they will start or be a difference maker in our offense.

Going back to my original thought...if one of the top 2 RTs are there at 28...you take them.   It should not even be a second thought.

Think of Munoz/Walter...Levi/Willie...he'll even Whit/Smith was 10 times better than recent.

The fact that we have a $12 million dollar RB that can't play on third downs is actually a pretty good reason why RB isn't a luxury pick.  

Any TE available at 28 has a better chance to start than a RT.  There's no guarantee that a RT is going to be a difference maker, either.  

Both Wright and Jones have work ethic/motivation concerns.  Wright showed up overweight at the Senior Bowl and his Combine measurables indicate that he shouldn't have the lack of range in the run/screen game he shows on tape.  Jones has been a disaster the entire process.  There's no way I would entertain even spending a Day 2 pick on him.
