My biggest curiosity is whether we trade down and basically attempt to get starters at both RT and OLB in this draft or just stay at 13 and get what should really be a franchise player. Also if we stay at 13 and there's a choice between A. Smith, Oher, and Rey M it's really difficult to know what's best. We are badly aged at OT and need another franchise guy, but Rey looks to me like the most fascinating defensive prospect in the '09 draft and we're already thin at LB (and London looks to be wearing a bit). Really, really tough call.

It is a tough call but I don't think you lose with Smith or Rey M. That is the good thing. We definitely need LB help but A. Smith would be an early X-mas present if available and they need young talent on the line. You never lose by aquiring talented linemen. I read that the LB class is pretty deep this year so hopefully Morocco Brown has found some decent players in the third round and beyond.

I am very excited about the draft this year.
