Quote:If we want to address O-line in the first round we either gotta trade back (im okay with this), or we end up reaching for someone like Cam Thomas (not cool). I think we can have our cake and eat it too. We got Albert and Linder, if we can land a Zeitler or Warford or both and use a pick in 2-5 to get one more, I think we are set. 

I see the danger there that you do. LSU's Oline was total garbage and Fournette had pretty crappy games against Alabama as a result, but we ran the ball better at the end of last year and we can get the players in here to do this right this year. 

If they land a top tier FA lineman it will make it somewhat easier to draft a back early, but it still depends what defenders are on the board at #4 for me. 

 

Fournette's cut-ups scream of a guy who gets swallowed up at the L.O.S. if he doesn't have a crease.  I don't want to waste a pick that early on a guy like that unless I know my line will give him a crease.
