Bingo. The problem is that there weren't any of these after the second round. Overall it was one of the weakest OL classes in years.

We could have drafted Oher instead of Orakpo. We could have not traded for Jason Taylor and used that pick to get Beatty or Loadholt (it's a bit late to rescind that trade, though). We could have traded back from #13 but apparently we tried but did not get good offers to do so.

That leaves us with doing our offensive line shopping elsewhere. I think that is now the plan. IMO it is not a bad one.
