My review of the OL is here:

Good list although I don't know many outside the top 20 or so.

I am all for Winters and the Center from Cal.

However if you have watched this teams drafts over the last 10-15 years and think we have a good success rate of drafting OGs or OTs from round 2 on...I want what you are smoking so I can be super chilled out over the weekend.

Lets see the list of olinemen we have drafted from 2000-2012 all of them except the ONE we took in the first round a couple years ago.

Matt Lehr
Char-ron Dorsey
Andre Gurode
Tyson Walter
Al Johnson
Justin Bates
Jacob Rogers
Stephen Peterman
Rob Petitti
Pat McQuistan
EJ Whitley
James Marten
Doug Free
Robert Brewster
Sam Young
David Arkin
Bill Nagy


That's 17 Names.
Of those 17 names ONE really panned out for us for a number of years in Andre Gurode. Doug Free did enough to get another contract and has went straight down hill so far that there is a legit chance he could be cut this year.

ONE out of 17 after the first round.

THAT is why even though this is a draft that has some depth at oline, even though we should be able to get some olinemen after the first round, even though there are some interesting and favorable olinemen after the first round....That one out of seventeen number is why many of us worry about this team drafting Olinemen after the first round and why even if you think we can get good linemen after the first round you should at least be a little worried about it with this team.

I agree with you. However, we haven't taken a first round OL other than Smith since forever. OTOH, that kinda makes a point for you. And there are plenty of starters outside the first round. We just don't draft any. However, that is also your point.

All joking aside, this is a newer drafting system than old so maybe they can do better this year.

God I hope so, Then Barrett Jones or another guy in the second. We aren't in a position to do otherwise. Dt and Saftey? really?
