I do agree the exact player will be much harder to nail since we pick so late, but I think the overall mood of what we're wanting most can probably be deciphered.

What's your feeling?

Here's mine (re:pick 28.b):

50% OT/OG/C - Highest probability to me.  Tom went after Baby Boselli.  He won't stop until the line is fixed, and to get the best in this draft we'll have to go early.  OL is likely to be the second pick if not the first, and could be both.

30% TE - Behind OL and less likely.  If they fell in love with a guy, this could be the pick.

10% WR - I really doubt it.  I wouldn't be upset but it doesn't fit what Tom wants/likes to do.  I think they're happy with what's there not to take one so high.  Later?  I think that's a certainty.  The way I see them take one here is that their preferred targets at the above OL and TE positions are off the board, and they have what they think is a "value" at the pick that they can't pass up.

5% QB - Tom may go get a prototype QB this high if he's the only one left (Rudolph.)  Otherwise, it will be one late or not at all from a backup ceiling crop if one isn't taken by us in the first.  If that's the case I could see a veteran backup trade/waiver pickup.

5% Other positions - least likely, but you never say never... that's when never happens. It wouldn't shock me if a too good to be true guy falls to 29 that they take him despite not being an immediate position of need. Da'Ron Payne or Marcus Davenport would be examples.
