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.

1. I was talking more specifically about OT and the idea that we have to draft one in the first round. If they draft an OT in the first round because of NEED, he better damn well start from day 1 or they failed to address the need. That's just the definition of need.
2. I agree which is why I said it. If they draft a tackle, he better play. It better not be someone like Rankin filling in for Fisher.
3. I agree. I absolutely hate the idea that a certain pick in a certain round HAS to be a certain position. That's how you end up drafting poorly and surrounding Mahomes with shit.
