He's a guy that doesn't just draft BPA, he drafts BPA at a position of need.

At the time, after having released Winston and having an unknown in Stephenson with a franchised LT in Albert, OT was easily our biggest need.

Not OLB where we had Hali and Houston.

Not 5-tech where they just signed Devito and still had Jackson.

Not NT where Poe was the incumbent starter and former 1st round pick the year before.

Not CB where we had the high paid Flowers and just signed Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson to multi-year deals.

Not S where they thought they still had something in Lewis, had signed Demps, and had Eric Berry.

Not WR where they just gave Bowe a massive extension.

Not QB where they just traded for Alex Smith to be their current and future starter and no QB worth it in the draft anyways.

Not OG where we had 2 returning starters in Allen and Asamoah.

Not RB where we had Charles.

OT was pretty much the only direction to go with that pick with the way that our roster had been formed and also with the way that the talent was shaping up in the draft. I think that's why Dorsey signed the guys he did in FA also, the draft was weak at top with the OT position being the strongest.

There are literally 3 or 4 spots you just listed that had we taken a player there, we'd be in the same boat at that spot we are with OT now.

Jackson is likely walking, Lewis is gone, etc.
