If Ryan Clady is a great LT prospect?

[Captain Lou]

Many of you have him as the best LT in the draft over Jake Long. I presume you only think that because you don't want to draft offensive line with first pick. I guess it's just not sexy enough for some.

My question is if Ryan Clady is so highly rated will he still be there when we pick at 32? Lt is a highly coveted position,and surely the best LT prospect would be long gone by then.

If he is gone we go after the 3rd best prospect. Not a wise strategy when our offensive line has as many holes as ours does. I think we have to take Jake Long with our first pick.

I know we need defensive help also, but if you have a dominant oline that eats up the clock is a defense's best friend.

If Parcels and company decide on Chris Long that means he's worth it. So at the end of the day that's just my 2 cents.

No way Clady makes it out of the top 15 picks.
I think if we wait till the 2nd round for OL, then we will be getting the 4th or 5th best guy.

And I agree we need J. Long.

If Clady is the best LT in the draft...and BP wants OT really bad, you trade out of the top ten, get more picks and pass on Jake Long...

Is that too far out of right field???

It's a great idea.
But trying to trade the pick is the hard part. Doesn't seem to be many takers out there.
Not sure anybody would give us what it's worth.
