So... if they draft a tackle I'll be dumbfounded.

I can't remember who it was, but I remember a guy on the board who insisted the game has changed to a degree that there isn't much difference between the left and right tackle positions any longer.  I would debate him up and down on that point.  But if the pick is Ekwonu or Neal, his argument would have proven at least partially right.

I would applaud Ekwonu or Neal at #1, even with Cam Robinson's new deal.  We'd have talent, versatility and depth along the OL for days.

Where to play Ekwonu or Neal would be  good problem to have.

Which starting OL would you like best?

From LT to RT

1.  Cam, Little, Shatley, Scherff, Ekwonu/Neal
2.  Ekwonu/Neal, Little, Shatley, Scherff, Cam
3.  Cam, Ekwonu/Neal, Shatley, Scherff, Little
4.  Ekwonu/Neal, Cam, Shatley, Scherff, Little

Compare any of those lineups to last year's group

Cam, Norwell, Linder, Bartch/Cann, Taylor.

Just with those four options, minimally, it would appear we'd have upgraded 3 positions from last year:  RT, RG, and LG.

Who knows what rookie C we could possibly add to that to make it even better?

Maybe Taylor finds his niche at G, and he is nowhere near the liability he's been at RT.

If we hit on a Ekwonu/Neal pick, Rausher is a good OL coach, it's not out of the question we could end up with the best OL in the division.

We'd have at least three guys who could play LT, maybe 4 guys who could play RT if Taylor is kept.
