Good post, though, and I do agree that there will probably be much better options if we pick at 13 than Mack. I'm just not opposed to taking him ahead of projected slot of he's the best OL available.

I agree. I can't understand why people don't think strenghtening the middle of our line is that important. I think it would be nice to have someone who can blow holes open in the middle. I also think it would be nice to have someone play the position at a high level for the next 10 years. Samuels and Heyer will probably handle things on the ends just fine this year. We can get someone like Vollmer or Fulton later. Dockery, Mack, and Thomas, if he returns to form, would make a formidable middle of the line. Of course I would rather trade down, pick up Mack and another pick. But I would have no problem taking him at #13 believeing wholeheartedly that OUR LINE JUST GOT BETTER.
