Last year I was interested in guys like Cordarrelle Patterson, Tyler Eifert, Lane Johnson, and Ryan Swope (concussion issues did him in) all of whom were considered 2nd round picks by many people this time last year ... but by the time the combine came and went, they were all 1st rounders. I judged based on what I saw on the field, but when that was confirmed at the Combine, these guys all became much harder to get.
What I want from Hickey is to get guys who will build a good lasting OL. If we can't get a good LT like Taylor Lewan, then I'm perfectly happy getting a stud LG and swing OT in Zack Martin. But, we need a lot more than that. I'd love to pluck James Hurst in round 3 and let him heal up a season, because he could be the answer to our LT position on the cheap.
I am looking at getting a LT and RT in FA with at least one T drafted in first 3 rounds. Then get two G's in draft with Martin being one. If not him, then Filoua or whatever his name is or Gabe Jackson, Steen, ect. Get one later. G's are easy to manufacture. Playing in a box. Just need smarts and work ethic.
