As to the Scherff pick, McC had him as the 3rd best prospect behind Fowler and Cooper so he is already, by his board, getting a value for Scherff. Also, I am betting Sherff would have been gone by the 9th pick (NYG). Who knows, maybe he was worried about a trade up by NYG. Thus, if he couldn't get a solid trade, and he considered the drop off at RT or BPA to be too big, then Scherff was the best balance of BPA/Need.

You can go a long way in this league with bookend tackles. Scherff may never be a premium LT and require payment at that level, but, as Schneed noted, good RT's require big bucks eventually. Plus, after watching his videos, I love the big nasty he brings.

Scherff and Williams set us up along the OL in a way we haven't been since the Jansen/Samuels days back in the early 2000's. That's a good thing.
