Somebody please try to convince me that the FO has a plan.

We are WEAK up the middle. That is why people were calling for JC to roll out more last year. There is no pocket to step up into. How many times did we run up the middle at the goal line and get nada? It would also make JC more dangerous as far as running. Makes all kinds of sense to me.

U took the words out from my mouth (in my case, hands).. Mack is "almost guaranteed" to be a stud in O-line; if all top RT are gone before #13, it is not worth to waste a pick on a RT who possibly have similar talents with Jansen or Heyer.. Although it might be a little bit reach to draft Mack at #13, we always can trade down to get more picks and draft Mack.. The risk of trading down is the teams above us might draft Mack first..
