Why not go LB the first 2 rounds? If possible

If we do decide to go the heavy (pardon the pun) route of offensive lineman, it'll be a testament to how we approach the looming contract situations of Cruz and Nicks.

With either offensive dynamic, whether the focus lies heavily on the OL or the skill position players, I'm confident that we can be very successful. We've won with both formulas in the past.

the more i think about it, the more id look to trade outta 19 (depending on what the boards look like near draft day of course) and get two 2nd round picks that can be used on 2 quality OL. maybe trade 19th for the first pick of the 2nd and a 3rd or something. spend 2 picks on OL in the 2nd. and 2 picks on situational defensive players in the 3rd. like pass rushing specialist DE and a run stopping DT...id be ecstatic with that...

Greene and Ogletree both cant shed and are crap with their hands.

I want Kevin Red**** (UNC), A.J. Klein (IOWA ST.) or Bruce Taylor (VT) as darkhorse middle linebackers that can be had in the middle rounds. We really need to strengthen the lines and get another cornerback in the worst way. I don't want small linenackers that weigh less than 245 anymore. We already have Williams and Paysinger who are on the small side. That is enough.

Unless Warmack is on the board. I know most people wouldn't be stoked with a Guard in the first, but we need maulers on the OL and it'd be nice to get the dependence of the offense off of the skill position players who might get too pricey in the rapidly approaching future.

Games are won in the trenches so we really do need to have both lines in mind during the draft.

They should go DE then RT or RT then DE.

Can they get Brown in the 3rd?

no chance. Brown is the best stack/shed LB in this draft.

What about the 2nd? Go DE in the 1st, Brown in the 2nd, and RT in the 3rd unless they are able to find a good veteran for cheap. Then they can go S or CB in the 3rd.
