Maybe the players were not there but I would have liked to get some kind of oline mid rounds. Maybe we can do it in the 4th and/or the second round of free agency. Perhaps we should have taken calls to trade back in earlier rounds and get an extra pick to address guard.

You can find quality Guard depth in the 4th or with one of the two 5th round picks we have.

Well, I hope we do. Maybe pick up a vet cap casualty too. Hopefully we make a better pick than several years ago when the analysis used the term “on skates” and the pick didnt make the team. Hopefully we can find a depth guard who plays like he is wearing cleats. If not, I think Bresee’s dad could have to fill in.

And you can find a quality RB in the 3-4 rounds of the draft as well. Just watching his high-lites he reminds me of one of the great RB's from two decades ago, Curtis Martin. Same build, same style. It's just a comparison. I'm not saying that he's the next Curtis Martin but I'm certainly warming up to this pick.
