This also has the predilection that we will be picking at the number three spot in the draft. That is very possible but we may get a couple more wins so that pushes us down the draft board but I still feel we will pick in the top ten. If we pick after number 7 then I am not sure there would be many trade possibilities. So if that is the case, who is most likley to be available in that 8-10 spot? Ojabo? Ekwonu for that LG position? Olave or Williams for WR1? I agree that Stingley is too big a risk so even if he is there I would pass. If Neal is there at 8 do we take him? This Sunday the Falcons game may go a ways to hinting at where we might finish for draft position. A win prolly pushes us well out of top five. Four or five wins might push us out of the top ten.

If we pick in the 8-10 spot (which is highly unlikely at this point), I believe Hutchinson and Ojabo will be gone. Ekwonu would probably be available, but would fans be happy with taking a LG that high? I'd be fine with it, but I bet I'd be in the minority. Personally, I think you have to take the best available player, which could be a WR. I'd be thrilled with that. If Neal is on the board, it would still be a hard pass from me, no matter where he falls in round 1. I just don't think he's a franchise OT. He doesn't stand out to me at all, even in this weak class. We have to hit on every player in the first 3 rounds. We've been missing on way too many players and that's why our team is so bad.
