I do agree with you that it would be stupid to take Slater or Darrisaw that high when we could add high talent guys, and I've been preaching fix the line first for a while now.
We just need to hope to get lucky in later rounds and/or free agency, but that's a reason why I hate not having a GM because, yes, we do have people that perform the roles, but a GM would have a grand plan like "if we don't land Sewell, we'll be sure to get (this player in this round) or (we'll make a call to this team to trade for this tackle) or (now this team will release this guy for sure and we'll be able to make a play for him).
I just think a GM would be thinking ten steps ahead and would have contingency plans.
