Agreed. Maybe it's the playmaker quote. Nothing wrong with Anderson or Walters that a extra half second from the o-line won't cure. Someone was banging me about the centers...there goes one. Four to go.

And he's got another in his top thirty. C/G means something there big guy. That's three one to go. Fifth round ?

exactly

I like Gonzalez, but not that round and not for the Texans at all. Many nice names on that board and if Buster Davis and Lamarr Woodley are on the board we would then be set at LB in my opinion if we took either. On to the 3rd and 4th we would then be looking at FS, C or BPA.

I was reading Scott Wright thread few days ago in which he had said that there is shortage of OT in this draft and too many team needs tackles this year. According to Scott all the tackles will be gone by top 1/3 of the second round and many teams will draft tackles earlier then they would have normally gone this year.

He also said that Michigan and USC tackles missed their opportunities this year. They all would have gone in the top 10 if they had declared this year.
