Good link 53. I can see us picking up Joe Bell , Sammie Hill, or John Faletoese with some later picks. With any luck (for us) these guys will not get drafted. They're all worth an invitation at the least. Do I think that Joe Bell could replace Jansen at RT? Someone is going to. I see that Russ Grim was able to put together a damn good line in Arizona with a few undrafted guys and some retreads. At the very least they're Camp Fodder.

Thanks Tramp. If we're smart we may be able to get some quality guys despite not having many picks.

As usual, we need more draft picks. I'm hoping we'll trade down and get a second round pick and at least another third round pick. Then, I hope we get at least two quality Offensive Linemen out of those three picks.

Players I love:

Phil Loadholt, OK, 6-8 337. He's played great whenever I've seen him play (admittedly, on TV only). He played LT in college, but I think he's the answer for us at RT.

Alex Mack, Cal, 6-5 300. He's a Center which is a secondary need for us at this time, IMHO. Nevertheless, I love the way this guy plays football. I'd target him as the second OL we pick.

Players I like:

Max Unger, Oregon, 6-5 300. Strong, tough, and quick. Scouts say he could play any position on the line. That's a true luxury for a team. I just like the way he plays. Like Mack, he's a guy I'd like with our second selection of the draft. He may even make more sense for us than Mack.

Alex Boone, Ohio State, 6-8 313. He's a good pass protector and I think he could play RT for us. He played LT in college.

With our third pick in the first three rounds, I'd take a LB or DE. The LB position seems to be pretty deep this year, so we might be able to get a good LB in the third round. I'm not nearly as impressed with the DE talent this year.

I agree about Mack. Unger is good but they tore him up at the Senior Bowl. Mack faired a little better from what I hear. I like Phil Loadholt and think he could do something good in the NFL but I'm not sold on him anymore. There are other players I think are better than him that could go after him. Alex Boone has drinking problems from what I hear and we don't need that.

There's a couple of pretty good clips about Mack on youtube. Getting To Know Alex Mack - and - Alex Mack Profile.
