Re: Another twisted Draft scenario

I say we should draft three OL in the first three rounds and they might all windup setting behind our current group of OL. At least we won't be drafting for this year. Who cares that we still need DE, WR, CB, and safety help this year and beyond. Next year we will need those same positions plus LB and QB. Sounds logical to me to load up on OL when we have a bunch of young OL already that have upside and might be better then anyone we could draft.
None of our starting OL can we say will be below average. None out of the draft could we say will be better in their first year. I would rather wait and see how this group does this year and address any if any OL concerns next year. We already signed Bell and if we resigned Steussie he would give us a good veteran backup.

Here are a few line combinations (All of them have played good at the NFL level except Fry who many want to throw under the bus after 1 season):
LT-Pace, LG-Bell, C-Romberg, RG-Incognito, RT-Barron
LT-Pace, LG-Bell, C-Incognito, RG-Setterstrom, RT-Barron
LT-Pace, LG-Bell, C-Setterstrom, RG-Incognito, RT-Barron
LT-Pace, LG-Bell, C-Fry(might develop), RG-Incognito, RT-Barron

If Barron or Pace goes down we still have decent OL combinations:
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Setterstrom, C-Romberg, RG-Incognito, RT-Bell
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Steussie, C-Romberg, RG-Incognito, RT-Bell
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Romberg, RG-Incognito, RT-Steussie
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Romberg, RG-Steussie, RT-Incognito
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Romberg, RG-Setterstrom, RT-Incognito
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Steussie C-Setterstrom, RG-Incognito, RT-Bell
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Steussie, C-Setterstrom, RG-Incognito, RT-Bell
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Setterstrom, RG-Incognito, RT-Steussie
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Setterstrom, RG-Steussie, RT-Incognito
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Bell, C-Incognito, RG-Setterstrom, RT-Steussie
LT-Pace/Barron, LG-Steussie C-Incognito, RG-Setterstrom, RT-Bell

If we want to base our draft on fear that players won't play as well as they have already showed us they could play or on key positions that we don't have a backup thats starter material then maybe we should start with DE, WR, SS, CB. I agree I would like to draft OL but IMO players drafted at the positions above would have a better chance coming in and starting right away then any of the OL we would draft. As I said before I would draft after the first 4 rounds for OL. I want to see what all our young OL can do they have all shown promise. After this year we would have the luxury of drafting OL in the higher rounds.
