1) I don't necessarily think the first pick needs to start immediately, not when you're drafting #31 and coming off back-to-back SB's.
2)If they're playing Rankin at LT, this offseason was a huge fail. If they draft an OT in the first and he can't beat out Rankin, then that pick was a huge fail. Personally, that's why I go sign old man Peters, so you don't ever have to see Rankin at LT unless there's another rash of castrophe. Rankin can fight for playing time inside, but he's not an OT. Best case: Peters is a saavy old swing tackle and we never even have to play him.
3)Positionally speaking, I actually prefer a DE in the first, and by a long shot. There's a gap between Darrisaw and the 2nd tier OT guys and the 2nd tier guys are all kind of a pick'em and they may well last into the early 3rd. I find Walker Little really interesting actually.
