[SFREDSKIN]

My understanding on building a roster is, first you have see what's going on within your division (we play 6 games there). You have to watch what the Cowboys, Giants and Eagles do. All 3 of those teams have formidable DLines and pretty good OLines. You have to build to compete against them.

Last year our weaknesses were our OL pass protection and our D getting tired on the 4th quarter and wilting against physical teams and lack of a pass rush. Our LB's were either hurt, old or tired from carrying the load of trying to make up for the lack of quality starters. We addressed the DL by signing Haynesworth which most people in this forum said that the lack of push up the middle was our main weakness in Defense.

My question is since most people say that DLinemen or nose guards are more important than a DE, then why are we trying to draft an OT instead of a C/G to control that part of the line?

I would draft Alex Mack to protect the middle (he can handle most anyone), then a LB, followed by a DE and an OT.

I would love to see our OL look like this:

Samuels, Dockery, Mack, Devin Clark or Rinehart, Jansen/Heyer.
