Mocks are popping up all over the place with 7-9 Olinemen being taken. Linderbaum being in the teens. Most are OTs with 3 often going in the top six. That is a lot for a "down" year for OT and it speaks to how important the position is, especially the blind side. 6 WRs also going as well as around 7 Edge rushers. Then the DBs and LBs. Obviously not all of these projections will make it to the 1st round. A ton of good picks will be there in rounds 2 and 3. This lends to the BAP on the board approach imo. With our needs so being in so many areas we almost Have to go BAP with each pick in the first three rounds but, depending on FA, I hope two of our first four picks are WR.

If you have a true franchise QB you just need to have an average oline across the board. As we already saw, Trevor turned a horrible oline into one that was statistically not horrible.
The big thing is not having a glaring weakness on an oline. For example, the Bengals are getting their massive RG weakness hunted all game long. If we can manage to draft and sign one starting IOL each and then tag Cam and move him to RT I think we can have an average OL that Trevor can succeed behind just fine.
I can see why people would mistake me for him, but I am not Daniel Jeremiah. In fact I may sue him for plagiarism.

This is common sense...
It's a pass happy era of football. The golden age of QB play geared towards making any back seven's life a living hell on defense. Especially with the rules today.
Need pass rushers to disrupt any QB play. Need lineman to keep your QB upright. Need playmakers on offense to make the QB look good.
Nothing new here...

Whola lotta people predicting OL at #1 that clearly don't think it's common sense.

Look who the General Manager is here.
I think it boils down to what happens in March. Robinson is serviceable. Little was a 2nd RD investment. They have a decision to make there. For me it's easy. I tag Robinson. I make Little and him compete for LT for two weeks during camp. Loser goes to compete at RT with Taylor. Loser of that is now my new swing tackle and starts getting worked at Guard to add additional depth and versatility.
If they draft Neal. He's a LT. If he's drafted to play RT I will be royally [BLEEP] pissed off about that. Especially if you passed up on Thibodeaux who had the highest pass rushing percentage last year by snap count or Hutchinson who clearly has enough ability to command enough attention to free up Allen and others.

Just take Thibodeaux at 1, tag Cam, and figure the rest out from there.

Baalke be like. "Take Cameron Thomas at 1. Trade 33 and both 3's back up into 1. Take Phidarian Mathis. Yeah. [BLEEP] Lawrence. [BLEEP] Pederson. No help on offense. No mercy. A good defense IS a good offense".
