Any Dline or Oline help is fine with me. Take the best of whomever is available.

This roster is so devoid of talent that Spytek could pick almost any position and it'd be a huge improvement over the current player

This is my take as well. If you cant get your QB, then draft the nastiest hogs and pigs you can find to build your trenches. You need a strong back/core before your hands and feet do you any good

Ruben Bain would have to be drafted before I looked at Woods. Then I would think Woods or an OT.

if we draft at 6 as we are slated right now, Bain is gone well before we pick

Lol...so these dingleberries are actually throwing a theory around that, we are eyeing a qb that can't even be drafted for what, 2-3 more years?

Arvelle Reece is starting to show up as the Titans number one pick. Then three QBs going to QB needy teams. Giants I think look to offense and take Tyson.

I've only seen his highlights, which can be really misleading. But from what I've seen it looks like they move him around a lot, kind of like we've done with our last bust at the position.

If we're going DT I want a big boy that can beat the crap out of an interior double team in college; a man among boys like Mack was when we drafted him.

He was projected to possibly be the #1 pick and is dropping like a lead balloon.

Yep... and I would still take a couple of QB's as depth/projects.

If that is what's going on, Julian Sayin has to be in the conversation... IMO.

Well according to Hondo, if you buy any of his takes, the Raiders are very interested in Mendoza, and also Ty Simpson
