Great

Let's find one strong enough to facilitate more 3rd and one conversions instead of being the reason half of them fail. 

Again - I'd like to see this braintrust scrap all the platitudes about athleticism and bring in the road graders. That is what I'm asking for - and I think they've been focused in the opposite direction. 

Baalke harped on bigger/stronger/more physical at least 4 times today. 

I'd like to hear it from Doug next.

Sure, I'm fine with that too. I just don't see those two they've brought in as saying they didn't want and expect that. One is pretty good so far, the other looks like a miss. I would like another tackle, a vet guard, a drafted guard, a vet center and a decision on keeping or moving on from Fortner before we get to camp. If we move on from Fortner then grab a middle rounds center in the draft as well.
