Would you take Hutchinson because he fills a need, believing he may be another Aaron Kampman or would you take Kyle Hamilton who plays at a position where we don't have a great need, believing he could be another Troy Polamalu? Personally, I'm taking the BAP and that would be Hamilton. I'll take the better player over the need position.

Exactly. Cam has never overcome his insufficiencies. If I'm taking a player in the top 5, I want a finished product. I'm certainly not gonna expect George Warhop to coach him up. That would never happen.

So Trevor was a finished prospect? Not based on his first couple of NFL games. LOL Just yanking your chain a little. But I get your point.  While every draft pick truly is a risk, some are lees so than others, like Trevor. Wirfs would have been a good pick at our place in the draft that year. Certainly better than what Cam has proven to be and wayyy better than Taylor, but both of them were second rounders. This reiterates the need for hitting on the big uglies and not missing on them. Are all the great/ really good OTs first rounders? No but with our track record, even first round picking is often suspect.  Oh and I absolutely agree that Warhop isn't a great O-line coach. Prolly not even a good one. Average at a dubious best. This then is my mantra the rest of the season, O-line is our biggest need next year ( and a new oline coach too). After that is WR#1. Then defense at every level, especially ILB

Unless Meyer goes (which I highly doubt,) I don't see Warhop going anywhere. In fact, I don't see much change coming to the O-Line either. I believe Cam will either sign a new deal with us or be franchised again with Little and Taylor fighting it out for the other starting OT spot. Bartch should fill one of the starting OG spots, Linder should play out the final year of his deal and that would leave only one starting OG position to fill in the draft. It isn't what I want, it's just what I think is coming.
