Since there is a real possibility we won't draft for the OL in the first two rounds because of fascination with QB's and a lack of desired OL in second round (and/or intelligence), who would you draft in the first two or more rounds.

My picks:

Bradford

Ryan Mathews


(Of course, there will be funeral expenses.)

I expect to see some vets moved for picks. I think Carter could go to Chicago for a 3rd-4th rounder. Chicago really needs DEs and we need picks. Then I see us signing Dansby to fill that void....


My point with that is I think Matthews will be there in the 3rd and I think some way or another we will have a 3rd rounder this year (trading back, trading players ect...)

I also think there is a 0% chance we DONT address the O Line. Shanny and Allen are smart, this isnt the Vinny show anymore who thinks you can get by with undrafted guys from UMD.... Shanny ALWAYS had a very solid O Line is Denver, I think he realizes the importance.

I still like Okung with # 4 and still think we will grab Tebow in the 2nd (like it or not), Matthews or another RB in the 3rd..... Just my 2 cents

We need to look at all our needs and all our options, including all rounds, undrafted players and free agency together. Your insistence on tying dealing with our line only with those two picks is just nonsense. Good linemen can and are drafted later and again there is free agency. We have lots of needs and if the talent drop at other positions is higher to go past the first two rounds then OL's, we should do it for that reason. Drafting for need ignoring talent is a path to mediocrity.

In the first though, ignoring OL's, I would take:

1) Suh
2) QB (Bradford or Clausen) - If the staff feels they are franchise. I hear the discussion, but there are so many high QB busts I can't say I think either is a sure fire solution
3) Berry
4) McCoy

not gonna happen. We will draft OL in at least 1 of the 1st 2 rounds.
