[QUOTE="Calhoun Lambeau, post: 360440, member: 4110"] It all depends on who's there at #32, if there's a player on Ted's board at that pick, he'll fire, if his guys are gone (not worth trading up for/couldn't trade up for) he trades down to find his next guy (the Jordy Nelson situation). The difference between players at the 32nd pick and the 45th pick is always there. Going into every draft people think it's deep and the difference at 30 and 45 isn't different, that's nonsense, there's a talent drop-off in EVERY draft. I think the notion of this offensive line class being 'the best of the last 10 years' is a little off. First off, the NFL has gone 'tackle crazy' over the past few years, elevating the position where more tackles are being taken higher than they should. The value of the position has overrated a lot of the players. Look at 2009, a very top-heavy, athletic group of tackles, on paper better than the 2011 guys. Look at 2010, a very talented group (Williams, Okung, Bulaga, Davis, Saffold), again better than the 2011 class. On paper the 2011 offensive line class isn't any better than it's been the past couple years. Next year I'd be willing to guess there will be a few highly rated OT's that everyone will be wanting, and people will say the 'offensive line class is great', too. [/QUOTE]
