Woody was their 1999 1st rounder. Brandon Albert was our 2008 first rounder. They play different positions, but the only thing that tells me is that we won't need Matt Light next year, we'll probably need a guard. They brought in an aging guard to patch the line for a couple of seasons, Mike Compton, and we brought in Mike Goff. The big kicker here is that we didn't have a 2nd-round pick to spend on a guy like they got in Adrian Klemm because we gave it up for Cassel. Other than that, they took an OT in the 4th, we took one in the 5th. I would expect us to draft an OL next year HIGH, like first day, based on what I see here.
And most of all, I wouldn't expect that throwing numbers at the OL this past draft would do THAT much good - Pioli's early history with OL wasn't that great.
