Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 475576">At least last year's draft finally put TT's "best player available" charade to be bed. It has been, and will likely continue to be, "best player available at positions of need" taking into account front line guys who might be gone after 2013. I agree about the C position...it's the one injury-free position that clearly calls for a starting-lineup upgrade. After that, there is not much visibility until we see what the guys do down the stretch and how the injuries are shaping up heading into the spring. That said, you gotta figure it will be an offense-heavy draft. I could see us going WR, OT, TB, TE, C in the first five picks...not necessarily in that order. We'll need to get further down the line and get more clarity on whether Jennings, Benson and Finley will be with the club next season, and whether Sherrod looks like he has any chance of ever playing football at a high level. Pickett's having a good year playing the big body role and should be good through the last year of his contract in 2013. Raji is signed through 2014...after that he might not be worth what he demands. I suppose if the right guy at the right price appears, they might go for an NT, looking out a year. Those guys tend to be hard to find. It seems to be against TT's DNA to take C or TE in the first 2 rounds.  I was going to include TB, but there was Brandon Jackson in the 2nd. round (ouch!).</blockquote>
