IF this happens I'd smash my TV if KC doesn't select Oher

If Albert pans out there's little reason to take Oher or any OT.

I'd prefer us to go MLB in a Draft that's going to have two elite guys.

Or DE, but it'll take a season to figure out who the elite guys are.

There will be three elite MLBs.

move him to OG, and KC will have the makings of a badass O-Line with Oher

:grr:

Steve Hutchinson was 1st rounder too and a perennial all-pro

geez i was under the impression that crabtree was not an elite prospect. Guess i just figured that because he's from Tech

Oh man, the list of all pro interior lineman that were not taken with 1st rounders far outnumbers the number of ajfal;kdjfal;sdjkf

Forget it, I'm not going to get into this conversation again. I'm saving it for next offseason.

If a talent like Oher is available you slide the Albert back to OG, and have fielding the best players on the O-Line. It's all about quality.

lots of DE and MLB....perfect...

C'mon. 10 offensive linemen in the first round a year after everyone was shocked that 8 were taken? I suppose it's possible, but if 18 offensive linemen are taken in the first round over a two year period, we'll have officially entered a new era in the NFL.

What?
No trades up or down?

+1

That's what's intriguing.

We could have the 12th pick and still land an elite MLB.
