I haven't seen any poster on this thread come close to espousing an "O-line all the time draft mantra". You're either not reading the posts carefully enough, or you have what seems to be a significant problem with reading comprehension. Any subtlety, any nuance as to the rationale behind drafting one of the best Guard draft prospects in a decade in the top ten- in a year in which top playmakers are scarce and Blackmon/Caliborne will most likely be gone by the time we pick- has consistently gone right over your head. Your belief that a TE (seriously, Orson Charles?) would be a better pick than DeCastro speaks volumes and reeks of ignorance.
In the NFL draft you can't always get what you want- that's the way it goes. But sometimes, if you try real hard, and look at tremendous players who would provide value at need positions like David DeCstro, you get what you need. It's an anomaly, it doesn't happen very often at all. Everyone who follows the draft to any significant degree knows this, there's no mystery there. Props, of course, to Keith and Mick. "Life" by KR, btw, was a heck of a read.
So, to sum up- no one is promoting "O-line, all the time", so get that out of your head. DeCastro is a once in a blue moon OG prospect. We need an OG. Quality playmakers will most likely be scarce by the time the Dolphins pick in the first round. My focus is on Brandon Weeden. I don't think that Weeden will be available by the time we pick in the second round. I'd like to see the Fins trade down in the 1st and secure Weeden- despite the ever present age issue, I think that he's simply THAT good. I don't want to go defense with the 1st pick, but I'd rather go D than select Alshon Jeffery. Michael Floyd would give me something to think about. Whether or not you take Weeden with a hight 1st rd pick, given his age, has been troubling me for some time. And if we end up picking at #7 I think that David DeCastro would be a solid pick because, as I've said from the beginning, he's a tremendous prospect who, despite the less than ideal position that he plays in terms of being a high draft pick, he offers a need/value proposition that's quite a bit higher than the playmakers who are likely to be available at #7. Including Orson Charles.
