I like this with a few minor changes.

LT Samuels LG Kendall or Rinehart C Rookie RG Thomas RT Rookie or FA signing

I'm trying, but I can't find any reason to get excited about the Texas-Ohio State match-up. It's like these two teams are running in jell-o.

I wanted to see how Boone would do against Orakpo. Looked like he was doing alright the last I saw but I lost interest and forgot it was still on.

I made a point to watch Orakpo. He did OK but it looked to my old eyes that he took some plays off and didn't pursue the way I expected. He certainly doesn't have the motor of Everette Brown who, IMO, is the better player.

I didn't know that Alex Boone was a top prospect until I read this thread this morning, but he definitely caught my eye during the game. I thought he played very well against Orakpo.

Boone is projected to go around the 5th round. I was just hoping maybe we could get a decent linemen with that pick.

After reading about the cap, (I must admit that I didn't know too much about it until this year) it's almost certain that most of these guys are going to be back next year as far as the O-line is concerned. If they trade up or trade down, quaility or quantity isn't a big issue with me as long as they see that it's a problem and try to address it with the draft and FA. We shouldn't neglect our defense either. Being able to do both of these things is near impossible in one off season. Next year we'll be posting about how we need a new running back after Clinton Portis collapses from exhaustion.
I like the idea of trading down and getting Robinson. I'm hoping we'll pick up Everrett Brown. I don't care if he's not built for our kind of offense. We'll have to wait and see. As long as they don't trade all of our picks for mercenaries and actually pick someone then I'll be happy.

Yeah I screwed that up. I was told he was built for a 3-4 DEFFENSE and wouldn't work on ours.
