I'm open to taking an OT with the first pick if everything is even on the board. We could sign him to a rookie long term cheap contract. I realise that we need defense desperately but we also need a little continuity along the offensive line. This is a deep draft for defense.....and a lot of that talent is in the later rounds.

Agreed, but I doubt that there's an OT available at #15 who is worth taking in the middle of the 1st round... all of those guys are probably gone by then, so trading down would then be the best choice if they're not trading up.

Depends, if the Oklahoma tackle would fall to us I could see him being the pick. I would shoot myself in the face if we drafted aWR from Tennessee.

Naturally Lane Johnson would be a no-brainer pick at #15, but I seriously doubt he'll fall that far down the list.

Here's the

because they have two dynamic ones who I know Shawn would love to put on his team. Have you ever seen a 6'2 Reggie Bush, thats how Cordelle Patterson is descrbed!!!! And Justin Hunter who is said to be the better of the two gets wide open on most routes but has an issue with drops.... I remember Devery and Meach had that same issue!!!!
