IMO, the only teams that I'd worry about taking an OLman:
Denver
Carolina
Chicago
And Carolina would be foolish not to take either Harvey or Mendenhall with their pick if available.
One, if not two of those OLmen will be there.

I could see NE taking Albert and Baltimore taking a linemen if Ryan is gone.
The nightmare scenario at 17 is if Albert, Clady (who I don't like), Otah, and Williams are all gone and McKelvin, Rogers-Cromartie and Jenkins are gone, plus Harvey is also gone.
If we were picking in the top 16, we'd be guaranteed one of those guys even if Rivers falls out of the top 16 (which I think could happen)
But at 17, I think there's an outside chance that the top 5 OTs and the top 3 CBs are all off the board.
That would leave us choice of:
-- Taking a chance on Talib a CB.
-- Reaching for a linemen like Cherilus
-- Wasting a pick on Merling
-- Or surprising everyone by taking a WR or even a QB.
I think I'd rather see us move up from 17 to make sure we get one of those OL or CBs. I suppose by the 10th pick we'll have a good idea whether someone will fall down to us (if Rivers is still on the board after New Orleans, then I'll be worried).
