If we draft soley on BPA and that leads to not taking any O-lineman until the bottom of the draft again, then we aren't giving the kid a chance. Brady and Manning would both only look mediocre behind this horrendous line. That's one reason I really want some early picks on the line. We can give Croyle all of next year and truly see what he has and if it's not enough, we'll be candidates for a top QB next year anyway. If our line is awful, it doesn't matter who the skill players are. And yes, the same can be said on the defensive side of the ball as well.

So we can only upgrade our line by using early picks?
What if we drafted Eric Young in the 4th, John Sullivan in the 5th, and Chad Rinehart with our other 5th?
We've just rebuilt the entire right side of our line.
