I don't think rookies fix the Oline..

Talented rookies will

 

If you reach for need you will.  If you get a stud, theu will.  There are 3 talented OTs in this class who will be day 1 impact players.

I'm 100% onboard with Thomas, Wirfs, or Brown. Honestly, not sure who I'd pick if more than one was on the board. I want to see Epenesa's combine. Relentless motor but I just don't see a lot of explosiveness there. He would likely make a really good fit as a 3-4 DE though if we go that route.

Wirfs is a stud, but mainly a RT in college.  I love Brown.  I would take either of the IOWA prospects if we are not considering need.

I think we need to upgrade C and G now and let Little get a legitimate chance. Most rookie LTs struggle. I might take Thomas if I was going to move Little inside.

Especially if Cam is dealt, it is starting to look as if we are going to have some money in free agency. (Pause for flashbacks to Hurney's spending spree that landed us some overpaid veterans from our own 2-14 team).  I would not mind seeing us address several need areas in free agency---until then, it is nearly impossible to guess.

Let's not forget the late blooming need at CB.  Ohio St has a pretty good one.

Yep. And yeah, quarterbacks.

People have suggested numerous times that the NFL needs a "minor league". Probably never happen but I'd be all for it.

A rookie league would be great--

We thought that same thing last year.. Dude from Bama got hurt in TC, Atlanta picked up 2 guys and it still hasn't work for them.. 

Dillard, Taylor and Ford have been okay..  But reality is it takes Oline longer to develop in the pro's these days..

Dillard, Taylor, and Ford couldnt hold the 3 top ones jock in this draft.

The Bama kid got hurt.  That could happen with any player.  It could happen to Derrick Brown if we drafted him

Atlanta's guys.  The OG has been injured, the OT wouldnt even be a 2nd rounder in this draft.

Boy, would I love to have had Quinton Nelson.

How many games are the colts winning bc of Nelson this year. Now, how many games would the Colts have won if Andrew Luck was playing? QB > OL and everything else

Your opinion.. Cool but I still rather see what we have in the young guys and get a veteran interior Olinemen..

And what if we end up having nothing in them? Then you've essentially flushed another season down the toilet.

I'm glad it's not my call to make. The new staff is going to have to do a lot of evaluating  to do with not much to go off of.

When a once in the last 3-5 years OT falls you take them

We do have some young guys, 2 of them.

Little and Daley, thats it

Trade our first for an extra second. Grab a tackle, assuming there's a good one still available, in the 1st. A couple d-linemen in the 2nd, Bryan Edwards in the 3rd then go BPA.

He's kind of already gotten started with the Shaq extension.

(who is already too hurt to play, what, one game after signing?)

The Short restructure was even worse IMO.
