OT or the Field?

I prefer T first because of how everything shakes out.  It's a bad FA class for T's. There's 12 OT's in the Top 100 of the draft class, but 10 are in the Top 50.  There's a good chance that if we go a different direction in the 1st, there won't be a good T prospect there in the 2nd.  I'm more confident in getting a quality WR prospect in the 2nd.  

Well, if I don't include Williams, then the list of OL prospects that met expectations will have been 0 in 10 years haha. At least getting a starter for multiple years is something.

As far as Jones and Yoshi, I included them only because I think they have the potential to really show up next year, but they obviously haven't fully arrived yet. Iosivas ending the season with 4 TD with limited snaps is impressive though. Jones is much more of an unknown, imo and I should not have included him.

I agree regarding the confidence that we'll find a good WR prospect in the 2nd and not trusting that we could do the same for OT in the 2nd.
