Quote:I've heard/read a few times that Caldwell was going to concentrate on interior O-line in the draft.  Why not in the 2nd round, especially if we get an extra pick from trading down in the 1st round?  OG Xavier Su'a-Filo will most likely go in the 1st, possibly as high as #23 to K.C.  Yankey should be next in the early 2nd round.  Heck, last year an OG went #7 overall to Arizona I believe. 

 

What other position would we take over OG with the extra pick in round 2 if we had already taken a WR and QB?  No Centers fit there in the rankings, and I have us taking one in the 3rd, more where they are slotted.  I guess Caldwell could reach for one.  OT?  No.  RB?  No, none worth that high of a pick in this draft, especially since we picked up Gerhart.  TE?  Maybe, but I doubt it.  It won't be DL after the FA run on that position.  We are pretty set at LB, and none really fit there in the draft.  CB might be the next best option outside of OG I guess.

 

CB, S, QB, DE, OLB (if there's a highly rated one there), RB, even OT.  With the roster we have, we could really choose any position.  BAP in the second round will be surely a starter, or to be starting sooner than later QB.

 

Again, Gs and Cs signed in the first round are rare, and a little more common in the second.  But, there's likely better value at several other positions.  This is a very deep draft.  I see no reason to sign a G higher than fourth.  If the right C is there, I could see that in the second.
