Drafting a master plan

Thanks for posting the link, nice read. I particularly liked this:
If Jake Long, or another offensive lineman, isn't the first round pick, then use the first second round pick to select the best available offensive lineman. You can't take too many chances and leave this position exposed because tackles are one of the hardest positions to fill in the NFL. Building a strong offensive line is the No. 1 priority or the Trifecta because it lays the foundation for the running and passing game.
Then this:
If an offensive guard hasn't been selected by round four, make that THE position to address with this selection. Remember, a starter is needed here and you can't wait too long to pick up a player like Toledo's John Greco, USC's Chilo Rachal, or Pittsburgh's Mike McGlynn because they might not be available with your next pick

Especially when the next pick after the 4th round (#100) , is in the 6th round (#195), as it now stands.
I think we will take another lineman in the 3rd round.

Thanks nice read.
As far as I'm concerned, this says it all: "Building a strong offensive line is the No. 1 priority..."
If the FO is going for immediate starters in this draft, I think they have to go early for two of the OL, and get at least three overall.
A thorough look at the Dolphins roster after free agency leads me to believe the ONLY pressing need the Dolphins must address in this draft involves the offensive line.
Interesting statement. I can't disagree too much with that statement. Not that there aren't needs in other positions, but this is most pressing.
Nice article, he sort of "blew" the #32 pick on Henne and Flowers, and Alberts will be long gone by #32.
I would like DRC and his one kidney if he was available there, or Lofton or Mayo.
