Bradford is really the only guy that keeps throwing a wrench into my "O-Line first" thought process. We can win with JC with a good o-line, I really believe that, but Bradford for some reason does appear to be "special." He seems to have the accuracy, the smarts, and the demeanor to be an outstanding QB. I can't wait for the combine.
Bradfor minus his injury plus him actually playing in his last season would change my "O-line first' attitude." It just that with our luck, I could see Bradford getting injured during pre-season. I guess that I should give Shanny's ability to build an offensive line more of a chance, but I just feel that a first-round tackle would be a good way to rebuild our worst unit from last season.

But we shouldn't take a tackle at #4 just to say we took a tackle.

Come SS, you know I'm not that simple minded. I think the best situation is to trade down and get more picks. I just don't like the whole risking it all in a QB at #4, especially if the best tackle in the draft is available.

Let's just trade for Billy Volek and be done with it.

It's hard to argue with that Ruh, therein lies my mental conflict.

But we shouldn't take a tackle at #4 just to say we took a tackle.We should take one though if we have access to the top one on our board. If we don't, then, that's another story.
Then we're left between picking between our top quarterback and our top defensive player.

I wish we had the 14th pick instead of the 4th where a guy like Best or McLain is more easily justified

We just have to find the player who can best help us build a team that can beat the Chargers backups.

Agreed.

Why do you think I want to trade for Billy Volek?
