Blades if you held me to it. I think his liabilities are mostly due to his lack of size whereas Heyer's are due in part to a lack of ability/athleticism. So what I am saying is that I think Blades is a better football player of the two. Very close though.

To me it would come down to the players available. If it is between Oher and Cushing I'd go with Oher because he is a much better player and I don't like Cushing (more than whether I feel more comfortable with Blades or Heyer). If it is Oher or Everette Brown, now you are making it tough. Bottom line, though, if Oher is there is SHOULD be the pick. It is in a doomsday scenario where all four OT's go in the top 10 that things start getting tricky. Mayock's latest mock top 10 actually had an interesting scenario. He had all four OTs going in the top 9 and Crabtree falling out of the top 10. Imagine a scenario where you had none of the OTs, Everette Brown, Aaron Maybin, and Michael Crabtree. Wonder what Cerratto would do.

Yes, it depends on who's available. It's possible that if Everette Brown, Robert Ayers, or Tyson Jackson are available, which one will be, we could jump on the DE. Wynn and Daniels can play inside as well so maybe DE. I'm not comfortable w/ Heyer at RT. Who knows what will happen. I will say that VC normally does a good job drafting 1 round picks for us. Damn, i just complimented VC, thats a first. I've heard on NFL Network, Ayres, Jackson, Everette Brown should be able to step right into a starting lineup at DE. I wouldn't be upset w/ that or OL.
