I will call our shot and say our first round pick in 2018 is an OT.  

We'll see.  To be fair, Og hasn't really had a TC yet.

Too many guys are getting hung up on the fact that a great OL helps the skill players, but neglecting the fact that the opposite is also true.  A great RB like Cook helps the OL by them not having to sustain blocks as long, finding cutback lanes when things get clogged at the designed PoA, and keeping you out of obvious passing situations where the D can just pin it's ears back.  A guy like Ross paired with AJ really makes a DC think long and hard about blitzing, because he can take a quick slant to the house if you don't get to the QB.  It's a lot easier to block a 4 man rush than pick up blitzes every 3rd down.
