If the past two years meant anything, then:

1) We're going to spend our first pick on someone we bring in for a private workout.
2) we're probably going to draft someone from the positions we look at most.

However, we know Shanahan never even contacted Cutler before drafting him. Given that, thus far our energies have been mostly spent on QBs, I think its possible Shanahan is using misdirection and has no intention of drafting a QB in the first two rounds of the draft. Considering he also has heaped praise on top of several of our linemen, its also likely that he's trying to make other teams think we'll go with a QB with one of our 1st two picks, thereby forcing them to trade up if they want a particular QB.

I have a gut feeling that the interest in mccluster is genuine, though, and we'll be trading down (or up) to get him.
