Many football philosophers say that the way to build a strong team is to start with the guys closest to the ball, and work outward.  I'll never begin to understand Mike Brown's philosophy of putting the highest priority on the players lined up furthest away from the ball.

I won't be upset at all if we take a Center in the 1st. I won't be upset at all if we take McGlinchey in the 1st and Price in the 2nd. Either way the OL will improve quite a bit.
