I'd go Delmas or Chung at safety instead.
Darius Butler at CB instead.

I doubt the Pats spend a 1st round pick on Unger. Maybe Beatty or Britton if they go OL.

I would take Unger over any of the other OL guys expected to be there ar #23. Unger can play ANY position on the OL. He was all PAC 10 as a sophomore at OT. Poistion versatility like that is extremely valuable, especially given Neal's injury history.

PS: I like Britton a lot, but can he drive block with a flat back like Neal or Unger if he has to move to OG?

Put me in the camp that says Unger isn't going to be an NFL tackle unless a team gets devastated by injuries. I don't think he's that good in space. Maybe RT in a goalline package. I actually think he's a guard in the NFL, and in that regard, I like Luigs better -- but not by much.

I like Unger as a guard and center. He would be the Game Day interior line backup for 2009. For 2010, he would likely start at guard in place of whichever guard isn't extended. Alternatively, Koppen might move to guard and Unger to center. I agree that he is not a tackle, except at the goalline, much like Hochstein.

Woods, Unger, Luigs, Mack, Urbik, Green, Parrish, Brewster...there are any number of good interior OL or OTs who could kick inside.
