Re: Until we have both an Offensive line and Defensive line we will suck....

To be fair to Cerrato, it was slim pickings in terms of offensive lineman in the second round. He got all the way to the supplemental picks before having to take his guy, who was Rinehart. But he could have added a stud defensive lineman instead of picking Thomas.
Anyway, we should let it go. Either way, we were going to be kind of screwed on the offensive line this year with no real help coming in the draft where we selected. So, could have signed a veteran Center, I suppose, and instead we went with Rabach (and journeyman Geisinger). Could have not signed Randy Thomas to an extension, but we did. We had to lean heavily on Samuels, and hopefully Heyer can look not overmatched these last three games, especially against Philly.
I think we'll know a lot more about the future of the OL once we see how Heyer and Rinehart do. Either way, our first pick has to go towards a tackle, and we can't afford to miss.

I agree. So who do we take? Any chance Alabama's Andre Smith, Baylor's Jason Smith, or UVA's Eugene Monroe fall to us? I highly doubt Michael Oher makes it out of the 1st round.
