I still can't wrap my arms around drafting a OT before round 3 (Unless we trade McCarron for a 2nd round pick). Back to back DE's would be nice, one of the top C's, a deep threat WR, a CB, LB, and TE were all higher on my list before this offseason. I did kind of want a FS but know they've already paid their safety's so one high wasn't likely going to happen. If we miss on a DE in round 1 (likely unless we reach for Taco)then when are we going to get a DE if we go OT in round 2? In round 3?! Shame to have missed out on all the top defensive talent.
They want the OT's to sink or swim, even if it means a loss season. We might as well not draft a OT early in this weak draft class, and stick to the script.

Yeah, really tough mentally on a player that's busting it and stands ready on the sideline having to watch that line play last year. Game after game! I believe this will be a break out year for Fish. Let's see how things gel on the left side and what staff decisions transpire.

Not to bash Casserly but I kind of figured that was a given when we took 2 tackles in the first 2 rounds in that draft.
Nothing is a guarantee when it comes to draft prospects so why wouldn't we give our 2nd round tackles a shot at LT if the first one fails?
