Glad to have you on the Mack train Goat. I look at it this way. Say we really want help at strong safety and our LT is a pretty good player nearing the end as an elite tackle. Jonathen Ogden is on the board, but there are some pretty good safties out there too. The best ones will be gone by the time you pick or have some questions about them but there are some others with some pretty good upside available later on. You can get by with the SS you have for at least one more year. Do you pass on Ogden even though he will be an all pro player who will make your line better for many, many years and take a pretty good safety because you want to improve that position right now? Or do you take a guy who will be the cornerstone of your line for years even though you could get by at that position for a while longer?
