[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 521001, member: 8895"] I disagree, if a special kind of talent is available you take him even if it is in the first round. A majority of recent Super Bowl winners had at least one former first round receiver. The value of a Michael Irvin or a Jerry Rice cannot be understated. Some of you advocate putting a lot of first rounders into the O-line, I couldn't disagree more. Some of the best Offenses in recent memory built their Offensive lines with a variety of mid round picks, this includes the famed Cowboys O-line of the 1990s. The trick is to create a pipeline of talent in the draft. Every year the team drafts one or two OLs in rounds 3-5, with the occasional camp body in rounds 6, 7 or UFA. The idea is that many of these kids will take their game to a new level once playing pro ball. Suddenly the understrength guard has packed on 10-15 pounds of muscle and is a plus player in the physicality department or maybe the workout stud has cleaned up his technique and footwork and turns into a much more consistent player. Even as good players reach the starting rotation the team continues to allocate draft picks to the position group, among the backups there is a constant competition for starting positions. The backups who survive multiple off seasons eventually get a chance to challenge a starter and maybe even start. I.e. Sitton/Lang. I think you can manage a similar talent level this way without sacrificing talent at other parts of your football team. [/QUOTE]
