Don't forget about Jake Fisher

My thinking is if mcglinchey isn’t there at 21 we can take one of the top centers in either Daniels, Price and Ragnow. Then get Brown in round 2 to compete with Fisher at RT. Or go safety round 2 and try to get the best available tackle with one of are 3rd round picks ?

Selfishly, I would almost rather have the top Center + Brown than McGlinchey + Brown. I've been wanting a top flight Center since Braham left. I mostly agree though. As long as we get a lineman in round one and some value picks later, I'll be good.

But I'm struggling with it.

According to PFF, he had a decent game vs Buffalo and a decent game vs Pittsburgh, but still ended the season rated 46.2

That just means his other games dragged down the two games he played well.

And then he has heart issues? I mean...who knows how that's going to go? Maurice Hurst is a top 10 talent that may not even be drafted in the first round because he maybe, possibly, perhaps has heart issues.

I don't know how dangerous an irregular heart beat is, but anything that requires heart surgery to repair is probably severe enough to end or jeopardize a career.

I'm all for giving him a chance, but we need to draft an offensive tackle capable of starting. If Fisher is good enough to start, then fine. But between his heart condition as well as his poor play for the last few years (there's a reason he's not been given the starting position outright, even with zero competition), I think it's safe to say OT is a big need this draft.

All fair points, and even more reason to hedge our bet with Fisher. Even if healthy, there's questions...and you can't ignore the health concerns, either.

Didn't Og give up around 15 sacks in 2 years? Brown allowed 1?

I remember people making excuses for all the sacks Og allowed in college.
