who was the steal in our draft?

I think you nailed it ssmitty, Carl Nicks seems like he was a super steal. I keep saying it but Mayock called him the best run blocker in the entire draft. What makes the pick even better is the fact that we need a mauler type run blocking RT IMHO. I have never been a Stinch fan and I never will be. Stinch is a smart player but he's soft. We needed a big nasty like Nicks. Even if he can't play RT at the NFL level he could slide down to guard and be a force. I'm not worried about his character. Anybody who read my posts concerning Shockey and Pacman knows that I don't mind character issues if the player in question can flat out play.

Is it just me or is anybody else really excited about our OL this year? Even though we lost Faine I still think we'll have one of the top 5 lines in the league.
