U have got good point, I haven't thought of that.. If it happens, then I probably would try to trade down, but if I couldn't then draft Mack.. C is another position we need to upgrade - NTs are starting to to get bigger and athleticism.. It may would be a reach to draft Mack at that spot, but having Mack in our line will upgrade the O-line.. Which is why I will not think that drafting Mack is a reach.. Beside upgrading our O-line with C, it would be perfect chance for Heyer to show whether if he can be successful this season or not.. I believe Heyer would be successful, he's getting enriched with experiences.. Regardless, I still want us to draft an OT..
And I'm curious to see why you don't like Oher?
I've heard/read too much about his immaturity, that he's been babied/coddled thoughout his football life and there are some questions about how he'll respond to being 'pushed' by tough coaching. With Bugel and Zorn being the brutally honest type I am concerned that he may not have the mental toughness to thrive.
Coupling that with the fact that we are asking him to flip sides and his football intelligence has come into question just spells bust to me.
