I know I read it here somewhere but not sure who posted it from where.... but the article pretty much pointed out that M.Shanahan has had great success building his 1st ranked offensive lines through mid round draft choices. Perhaps it was the scheme, I don't know or the OL coach, but hopefully he can continue to do this. I'd say pass on throwing away a draft pick and usually I'm the one saying lets get him cause he's a proven player. Plus I think he came out of King George VA. if its the same LT I'm thinking of. He did have trouble with Ware but that could be solved with a couple of chip blocks by the RB or Ware getting beat when he makes that rush.

The team has a camp coming up prior to the draft so the coach's will know what they have in OL and what they don't. Like Levi, although he was not impressive he made a statement that was very telling just after he signed with us .... he said he has not utilized Bugels style of man-to-man since his college days. Which means what? was he more of a zone blocker? Levi might do better under Shanahan's zone blocking since his whole career he ran that scheme. I'm guessing.

I think if there is not outstanding LT available in FA I'd look to pick up a decent player to fill the RT spot. Draft a QB at #4, and pick up the LT in the second round. Look at a FS in the 4th round (unless we pick someone up in FA), and possibly OL the rest of the way and bring in a lot of UFA OL.

We have many holes to fill and I guess it depends on what the team decides to do? I'm not advocating it but if they were to try to the big splash again:

Peppers-DE/LB
Sproles-RB
Pashos(49ers OL)-OL

Then look to pick up a FS some of our problems would be solved. We needed LB, RB, FS, a whole mess of OL, and a more accurate QB. The QB could be addressed in the draft as well as OL and FS. I still think they will try to pick up a big named WR also. As most of you have said I could see Walter of the Texans since he knows the scheme or Bryant of Tampa since the K.Shanahan would be familiar with him or T.O. since M.Shanahan tried to pick him up once before, and even though I'd rather have the other two my spidey senses are telling me T.O. is on their list since it would give our young WR another year under their belt, T.O. could help McCardell coach them up for next year, and he most likely would be cheaper then the other two.
