[QUOTE="ThePerfectBeard, post: 471563, member: 2047"] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#141414]I don't know what it is about me, but I love these questions. I get so excited about the draft. Don't get me wrong, by no means am I saying I don't care about the season or am I giving up... Far from that. I just like thinking about our future as well. Here's my take. 1.) O-Line help. First and foremost we need a center. I know Chance Warmack is a Guard, but he may be a good future center and is a brute. Then there's Barrett Jones who will most likely be the first center off the board. Either way we need some more physical types up front. I argue with the fact that we need a stud running back.
