As far as the line is concerned, you can't keep throwing good money after bad. Pioli should have fixed the line in the last draft, but he didn't. As such, we can only draft to the strength of the board, and in this draft, it's defense. We'll have to try and augment the line through FA and try again in 2011 to make a more concerted run on offense.

Honestly....I think that picking up Mankins during FA and drafting a C/RT in the first 4 picks would help this line immensly. That would still allow us to use 2 of our first 4 picks on the defense. And then hopefully grabbing a deep threat at WR with our other pick.
Your mock draft of:
Quote:
1) Mays (it's basically like you have 12 players on D when one guy can take away the deep middle) S
2) Benn WR
2) O'Dowd C
3) Brandon Lang DE/OLB
4) Dan Williams NT
5) Dexter Davis DE/OLB
6) Micah Johnson ILB
7) Spent on Jake O'****tard

with Mankins in FA.....would put this team around 1 year from competing.
