Ah, that's okay then. :)

I just thought it weird you might be saying "think 23 too high for OG/C on general principles." I can understand if you think other areas of sufficient need trump going OL at 23 with what's on the board.

Of course, if there were no legit OL at 23, me I'd strive to trade down rather than spend it on a LB. But that's another argument for another day.

And I guess neither of us is going to get our wish of a non-Packer FA or two before the draft on the OL. (I still don't think Tausch and Clifton are sufficient to count here, I don't care what the lawyers defining "free agent" say. Me, I think they needed at least one new FA bodies beyond Tausch and Clifton.

Scratch that. I still think that way. I will have serious attitude going into draft day if that condition persists.

And you haven't seen Iowa pugnaciousness yet... if Ted Thompson goes too little OL draft I'll probably find myself banned.

Half of my great fear (no OL acquisitiions before the draft) looks to be coming true. The other half: no OL drafted before round 4 or 5.

I'm sure you have great reasons for your picks. You always do. You know me, though: I'm just completely unreasonable when it comes to the OL. 🙂 (Methinks that's why people still respond to you on draft threads -- you've still got a bit of reasonableness; me, I'm the Lyndon LaRouche of draft followers.)
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
