If we took a kid like Barron, I think he would be the LT. Adams would probably be the RT, and IMO this would actually suit Adams better. I see Tucker as the eventual RG and back up to Adams at RT. Between Allen and Rivera, this should allow for development of Tucker, Rogers, Peterman or Gurode. In fact, the only real down side, IMO, to taking Barron would be the cap investment at Tackle.

Forget eleven; we ain't drafting at this spot. One reason is that Jones does not want to invest the up front cash for this spot. Second reason is that someone will want to move up to this spot and overpay; I can see us getting a two next year, and a two or three this year, to move down fifteen spots or so . . . or less to move less; point is that we move out of this spot, and end up taking two or three players that all will be better than the person we do not take at eleven. I can't wait. TUNA will take these teams to the cleaners.
