Really? OT is the most stable position on the team. the first round should be a RB, WR, G, DT, FS. or ILB

Nothing about our o-line was stable last year. Nothing.

That being said, the last time we drafted an OT early, he didn't play OT. My plan here was solidifying the LG spot with a lineman who can move around if needed. I wanted to go with Derwin or RB at 13, but there wasn't one there that fit the spot when I did the mock.

I usually don't speculate much on trade downs but our first round priority has recently changed drastically and this could be good for us.
I've been reading stuff and some of the pundits have listed at least six teams that draft after us that might want a quarterback.
We pick at 13.
Cardinals pick at 17 and the Bills at 21.
If one of the wonder boy QBs are still there when we pick you would think Buffalo would want to jump ahead of Arizona.
So....swap positions in the first with Buffalo and get their third round pick plus another, not sure of that value.
So we recoup our lost third + another pick.

1. James Washington - WR
2. Jeff Holland - DE
3. Kalen Ballage - RB
4. Sam Jones - G

New Orleans, Pitttsburg and New England may also want to trade up.

Look at the Eagles, they have killer O-Line, D-Line and backups on both lines.
Thus in turn they have a great running game and are good at stopping the run. They do not get pushed around by anyone.
We have to fix our lines, it will make everything else better.
Stop with the RB, QB, WR picks.
