The Long, Slow, Arduous Bataan Death March To Drafting OL On May 8th

Even if he did suck.

Teams don't pass on that size/speed ratio.

I think that in this draft they would, particularly in the 1st. Plus he looked slow as hell in 2013 and he didn't get a chance to show teams that he can still move like he did in 2012. He won't get a chance either with his surgery coming up. Very few teams will be willing to take that chance in the 1st in a draft that's this loaded with talent.

Direckshun, I agree about OL in this draft. I have a feeling that Yankey is the pick if he's there at 23. Yankey reminds me an awful lot of Evan Mathis too. Best guard I've seen in a while.

See, I liked him a whole lot too, but he's not proving to be terribly athletic.

He seems to me, now, to be one of those 2nd/3rd round picks who's got everything you need except the exceptional athleticism. We'll see. I think Yankey will be a Pro Bowl talent, however.

Zack Martin, however, I believe is probably on this team's radar as our 1st round pick.

Hoping against hope, however.
