So what are you trying to convince me of here? That great D and a strong running game win championships?
Is that what you're saying? Because all you're doing is making an argument for Richardson and Orton right now.

True, but an RT gives you value for 10 - 15 years and makes your other RB's better. Better to get a RB after the OL is in place because their career life is much shorter.

Although people focus on QB's right now, yes, if you can get consistent pressure with your front 4, it increases your odds dramatically of winning in the postseason. Brees went untouched in his game. Stafford and Ryan got pressured. Tebow had time.

There isn't anymore of a Guarantee that your RT is going to last you 10-15 years. Why that idea floats around, I have no idea. Ask the Rams and Jags about their high round tackles. There have been PLENTY of high round tackle busts. Russel Okung ring a bell? And of all the positions that could be addressed between rounds 4-7, RT has to be at the top of the list. Everyone suggesting #11 is too high for an Elite RB should slap themselves for not thinking the same regarding a freaking RT.

richardson is likely a 4.5 guy, but his bench press is probably going to break a record for running backs

It's not just RB vs RT. It's Trent Richardson vs say a Jonathan Martin (6'6 305). Who's greater at their position? And a lot of the top tackle prospects you'd take at 11 all played LT. So you're talking a position change. Furthermore, this is a pet peeve of mine, all the top 1st round OT prospects are just over 3 bills. That drives me crazy. We already have just about the lightest O-line in the league who just so happens to be bad on 3rd & short. Shocking. Our Center (who thankfully will be gone next year) was 285. I think we need some road graders up front. Where's the 330 Guard? Where's the 6'6 335 RT? |

If they can move down for extra picks and address both RT and LG in this draft I would be happy. As I don't think the top tier QB's will drop to 11 it would be nice if they could pick up one of the second tier QB's in the late 1st or 2nd. If they do pick up Richardson I would not be upset, I just don't think he is so special that he should be a priority over QB or OL. |

Forget QB (our biggest need). We draft a RB over RT or NT and I'll be livid.

reaching for some NT who shouldn't be taken would piss me off. T Rich would not piss me off. We don't know if Charles will make a full recovery, it's unlikely if anything. I say draft him if he's there. Either that or a RT

You are a damn idiot. You need youth and break tackle ability with good speed. That's top 10.
