why is there a shortage of quality off linemen in the nfl? one pf the biggest reasons is there are so few quality off linemen in the nfl coming outa college . i beleive because of spread offenses and less players playing in a three point stance as much . so we dam well better pick a olineman at 18 because they will be gone by 50 last year we got dam lucky with o neill

Amen, Tommy.

I would put substantial money on them taking one lineman in the top 3 rounds.

If that's the case everyone please let Wetlander know I'm now all about Lindstrom at #18. Simply can't let a run on that position catch you out two years in a row.

Aaaaaah, I knew you'd come around... :-D

Deep draft with starting-caliber players like Powers & Samia out of Oklahoma as well as several others available even into the 3rd Round. I suspect they will go with Bradbury or Lindstrom at #18 if no one slides from the Dillard/Taylor/Williams group.

But if Oliver is sitting there at #18 I won't freak out with him being the pick as you can still get a guy at #50, albeit probably a bit of a reach.

Been saying all along there isn't one single can't miss dude but it's a very deep class. Demand is still greater than supply so you might have to reach just the make sure you get someone.

i am on the Bradbury bandwagon. line will make a nice jump and he just looks like a long term BTP on the front wall.

I'm definitely afraid of a run on OL ahead of us and that could really mess up the draft for us. I hope that they don't need to trade up, but since we really need all the picks we can get this year. The cap issues and the urgency of the OL need put us in a bad spot.

Sorry, was meaning only one. Not multiple lineman.
