I think OL is a high-need area, but that gems at that position are easier to find in rounds 3-4-5 than true gems at several other spots on the field. When looking backwards at Koppen-Connelly-Wendell-Stork, we see quality players that didn't require spending a high draft pick. So I think BB does go OL, Big with picks between 90-120.
On a side note : Why do NFL teams seem to devalue centers ? I've always thought they are key personnel. Wasn't Stork - 4th rounder - winner of some "best center in college" award ? How can that guy (the key pick up in the SB winning Patriots' draft) last until the 4th round ? Seems like Koppen and (hopefully) Stork are guys you can really build around....
