and where do premium LOT's get you?
2006 - ferguson at #5 or marcus mcneill at #50?
2005 - brown at #13 or roos at #41?
2004 - gallery at #2 or starks at #75 or jason peters at (undrafted)?
sure there are guys who are perennial probowlers but when has tying up huge resources at OT ever equated to an incremental improvement of a team?
in my opinion, ''good enough" works much better at OT than at many other positions
Your point is a good one. But it is still very hard to get quality big men later in the draft than quality LBs.
I love Aaron Curry. I had my eye on him a year ago, and 6 months ago when everyone was hyping Laurinaitis and Maualuga I thought he was the best LB around by far. But if we have a top 10 pick (especially a top 5 pick) I think that unless we are absolutely 100% convinced that he will be another Lawrence Taylor, or at least another Junior Seau/Ray Lewis, that we're better off spending the pick on a big guy. BJ Raji and Jason Smith would both be excellent picks, and would have enormous value to the team.
