I do agree that the o line is more in need, especially RT. I think the smart pick is an OT w/13 but if they feel the class is deep enough to get somebody decent in rnd. 3 maybe they take Brown or Orakpo if they can.
If Oher is the last of the top OTs left at 13 I hope we can trade down or take somebody they've rated higher on the d line.

I agree with passing on Oher. I've watched the senior bowl on DVR twice and he doesn't appear to be that good. Also, the knock on him is effort, especially in run blocking! Pass on him please!!! (pass on Peria Jerry and BJ Raji too). One week of senior bowl practice does not do enough for a college career of hacking it.

If no trade take Maualuga at 13.

If we can trade down take Eben Britton or Fili Moala in the late first round and Ayers the DE in the third.
