a mediocre Tackle, or another Gronkowski ? easy choice

chip the pass rushers with a 270 lb stud, and RGIII will have plenty of time.

Why do you think all the OT's selected in the 2nd will be mediocre?

And what makes you think Niklas is going to be the next Gronkowski? I like him as well, but first of all, there's going to be better players available than him when we pick; second, TE isn't a big enough need, IMO, to justify taking one with our first pick.

Tackles like QBs are in high demand, and 4 or 5 good ones will go in the first round. Zac Martin might slip to the second round, if so I take him, he is a good one... he might be a guard though. The tackles left are questionable picks early in the 2nd... Moses, Richardson, Mewhort, and ?

Niklas has only played tight end 2 years, he has the size, strength, and decent speed to be a very good one.

I agree with this, taking the 6th-7th best OT in the draft with our first pick is not a good idea. Reaching for need is always bad. BPA.

Reaching for an OT is probably a bad move but we might be able to get the best OG in the draft at #34. That would help us, too.

That would be great, OG would be great as long as he is good enough to start.
We need starting quality at #34, I do not care what position.

Of course it would help, especially if Compton is moved to RT.
