Re: Turning Attention to the Draft
I can't see us passing up on a tackle if one of the top ones is there. I just saw Graham projected in the top 5 on a mock. He definitely would be a great pick. They seem to make them differently up there in Michigan... on both sides of the line. Though I'm really hoping for a trade down, I think Banks Jr. is a realistic and strong choice.

Re: Turning Attention to the Draft
We should probably target one of those DT's in the 2nd round.

Re: Turning Attention to the Draft
The game is won and lost up front. That has always been true and it will never change. In my opinion, you don't draft for need. You draft the best possible player available.

Re: Turning Attention to the Draft
I am fine with drafting in the trenches but if you have missed on a lot of picks at oline and dline in the first round its important to fire the people who missed on those picks and be willing to bench the players they picked. You cant build if you dont fire failures.
