Am I the only one who thinks

We had a good ypc even with Bodine in there and boling at left tackle and no deep threats besides green. All I hear is take Wynn take Hernandez . I'm more worried about right tackle and center. And they will most likely just put Fisher at right tackle again anyway. Which I'm fine with we don't have to have the best o line in the league all of the sudden after the worst lol.

With you 100%.  It is not a slight to Wynn or Hernandez, but I like what I saw out of Westerman and Redmond.  RT isn't even as big a need since they brought in Hart for insurance behind Fisher (although I would love Orlando Brown if he slipped all the way to the third round, which will never happen).

Center is a huge need, but I still don't see them taking one at #21.  They could get a first round center if they took a trade and slide back toward the end of Rd 1, but I think there are going to be plenty of really intriguing players there at#21.  A LB or DE?  Or even a guy like Vea could fall in their lap. 

The other need that is much more glaring than Guard is LB.  They really need two of them.  One that can be a MLB (Vander Esche?) and one that projects as an OLB (Shaw Griffin?  In the third?).

The point I have tried to make before was that our oline was probably worse in 2016 than it was in 2017 and that was with Zeitler at RG.  He had a turd at center and a turd at RT so it didn't really matter what guard we had there.  Those spots will help the entire offensive line when they are addressed (C and RT).

I drool at the prospect of getting a top prospect like Vander Esche, a C like Ragnow, a RT like Brown and a LB like Griffin.  Although the world has dumped all over Brown, I still like him and hope everyone does pass on him.  And Griffin is so much more than a great story.  I think I heard he is one of four players all time to get 10 sacks and 10 passes defensed?  Or something like that.  The kid plays with his hair on fire and I would give anything to have a speedy LB with his attitude on our team.  He is the ONLY draft pick that would make me go buy his jersey day 1.
