What's wrong with Oher at 13?

What's wrong with Oher at 13?

Too many red flags (like effort during run blocking and ability to pick up a blitz scheme) in college no less. If we stay at 13, and Monroe and Smith are gone, take Maualuga and build a defense around that guy!!

We need to build a offense. You know, the weakest part of the team for the last 10 years.

Too the people who would like us to draft defense: Have you guys given up on JC? How can you expect him to improve if you don't get better in the trenches.

Well, I think first and foremost is probably improving the entire team and that includes the d-line.

That's not to say we don't need help on the OL, we do of course.

Side note, I'm increasingly skeptical that Campbell is in their long range plans anyway. But that's another topic for another day.

Any particular reason? Are you hearing rumblings the rest of us aren't privy to?

And so it begins

THAT MAKES ABSOLUTLEY NO SENSE!

First off, Malauga is a MLB we have Flecther for at least 2 (given he's healthy). Second Maualuga would not fill a need given that he is an OLB, and last time I checked our focuse was on OT, or OLB NOT MLB. You draft for need then talent, and if we can't draft an OT or an OLB (Curry) you trade down and get more picks. You don't build a defense around a MLB, you build on the D Line first.

Dude you're kind of dropping bombshells on us here as a contributing insider. First that A. Smith could fall all the way to 13 and now that the FO is looking to switch QBs. I don't mean i don't believe you cause i do but a little warning or maybe a separate thread would be nice :)

I've asked this before w/o getting an answer: why couldn't Maualuga play OLB for a couple years before taking over for Fletcher? After all we originally drafted Blades as a MLB and whenever we need a guy to fill in, especially on the strong-side, he's our man.

... i'm not absolutely advocating Malauaga but saying if he's the very best talent left @ 13 (say all 4 1st round o tackles are gone or it comes down to Oher vs Malauaga vs Cushing) then we'd be wise to take him and let him play.
