Building your home from the foundation up is the way to go

[garyv]

Lots of folks want either Prince or Peterson but the best way to build our Team under Garrett is the way our House was built from the foundation up. I use to be the one always wanting the flashy picks but have come to realize the best Teams in the NFL: Steelers, Ravens and etc. were built first in the trenches and a strong base than filled the rest. We need to be looking OL or DL early in this Draft. I still like my personel Mock Draft which has the Boyz trading down for Gabe Carimi, Tackle Wisconsin than trading back up in the 2nd Round for Steve Weisnewski, Center Penn State. Build the base and it will come.

The Steelers and Ravens O-line have looked like trash all year.

You can probably trade to 15 and take Camiri, pick up a 3rd and take Wiz right where you are in R2. Maybe even trade down a bit in R2 and get him there

That makes sense.

Are you sold yet on Camiri though? I'm on the fence still.

He would be a pretty safe pick IMO. I think hes just good enough to be a starter and one youre generally satisfied with.

I like what he did against Heyward. He was great against Miami.

One nice I like about Carimi is he doesnt just try and push his man past the QB. He does a nice job of cutting off their angle and keeping his man a pretty safe distance away from the QB. Something Romo hasnt really had.

Id rather jump back up in R1 and get him then if we have a shot at PP or Quinn at 9.

depending on how camiri works out at the combine...idk if he gets picked before the 20's unless a team with a lefty at QB takes him to man the RT spot.

Most of the time, the game is won in the trenches.

I agree, build through the lines. But you can't build the entire line in one draft. Integral FA signings:

OG Logan Mankins/Harvey Dahl
DL Shaun Rodgers/Richard Seymour/Shaun Ellis
DB Nnamdi Asomugha/OJ Atogwe

Trade: Spencer for a 2nd, Leonard Davis for a 5th

Draft best player, not for need:

2a) OL Marcus Cannon, TCU, 6'5 350

DL Marvin Austin, North Carolina, 6'3 310 4.8
