Exactly, which is why, in the "Please Draft at #13" thread, i proposed taking a DE if we were "stuck" at 13 and then a developmental OT with our 3rd round pick. I think Heyer will be a solid starter, but Samuels is aging and we need a better backup situation than Jansen and Clark.
I suppose i could go for going LB in the 3rd and OT in the 5th, but i'd prefer to get an OT earlier, especially if we bring Washington back. In the 5th round, a LB taken should atleast be able to play special teams his rookie year. I can't remember any OTs taken that late ever amounting to anything. As far as i'm concerned, if you're not going to take one in the first 3 or 4 rounds, you might as well wait pick up an undrafted guy.
