You stole nothing my friend...it's a group think thing...

Doubt Fluker will be there in the second round...

Swap the slots you'd take Barrett and Margus and that is very plausible...

Terron Armstead will be gone by mid second round...

Swap the slots of Hughes and Faulk, and that too should be there...

Geathers should still be there in Round 5...

Round 6, WTH? BPA? You better find us a real name soldier!

If Johnson is there at 15, I could see it - though I think there is better value for investment in the second and third rounds for a Left Tackle as you suggest...

Yes, I believe in flexibility - and we will need financial flexibility with that albatross of a contract that Tom Condon struck with Mickey Loomis...

Also, being able to move lineman around could be yet another nightmare for opposing defense to deal with...

Both those young men are athletic and can move, which I prize in an offensive lineman...
