This team isn't close to winning, that is why they should be taking the best player every round, anyone can help at any spot. We aren't the Colts or the Chargers or Pats with a very defined core team with a couple spots to fill in, we need to build our core.
And what he means by short term and longterm is if you want a LT above all else you are thinking about this next year because you perceive it as the teams greatest need and nothing more.
I think some people need to get a grip this team is years away, most of the players on the team that are any good are old which makes them about ready to also be replaced.
This is basically the first year of rebuilding with the draft, when you have picks this high you simply take the best players every round. You worry about needs when the majority of your core is built and you only have a few holes.
Everyone says look at Arizona they ignored their line yadda yadda, well guess what they got outstanding players now they are in a position to focus on that 1 spot. You think they'd trade having Fitzgerald or Boldin for a OL I don't...
