So you're agreeing that if we believe QB is figured out, taking an OL over a DB is better?

And I even stated the exact same thing you said (OL helps QB), so uh, might want to look at the entire context before you start chuckin stones.

Simply put, if we end up with the first pick in the darft and we walk away with Travis Hunter, I have no confidence that our course will be changed in any form. We'll still be lost offensively and unable to accomplish the most basic things like converting 3rd and shorts consistently or equipping our QB to prove whether or not he is the guy. It accomplishes little.

One thing we both agree on is we need an upgrade at LT.  That said, Hopefully we start winning some games and don't pick first overall.  If we do though there are other ways to upgrade LT outside of the first pick in the draft.  I'd get a veteran like Wills or Boles and resign Little unless I have a LT at the top of my board.  Even if I have a LT at the top of my board I'd still like to add Boles or Wills along with resigning Little and that pick can start at RG unless we can sign Trey Smith as well.  

Say we start winning games and pick 10th overall, there is a good chance Banks and Campbell will be gone so im not going to reach for a tackle there just to take a tackle.  I hope we do something in FA just so are backs aren't up against the wall and forced to take a tackle.  A lot of football left to be played though so we don't know where we will sit in the draft and how these prospects play the rest of the year. It would be nice if Cam starts playing amazing football or Little comes in and shows he can be the guy and this oline we have starts playing like the one they envisioned.
