D) I think we go with Okung or Bradford with the first pick. Keep in mind Shanahan got Cutler then Clady, not Clady then Cutler.

I don't think that was based on position. Cutler was his guy & likely 1st priority so he got in position to draft him. I would think the same would apply to this draft. If he likes a guy a lot he'll take him at #4.

It would make sense to me to draft the qb first (if you believe you need one) as they'll typically take longer than an o linemen to develop & start.

If Shanahan REALLY likes any of the QBs who are worth the #4 overall pick, then he should just take a QB there. There certainly aren't any tackles worth taking (okung doesn't really fit shanahan's system) at the spot. Trading down would be nice, though. Shanahan reportedly likes Tebow, and he's not worth taking anywhere near the top of the 1st round, although I think he is drafted in the first round. Ideally, iShanahan beleives he can work magic with Campbell and we can trade down in the draft and get two 1sts or a 1st and a second and draft 3 offensive linemen with our 1st 3 picks.

WOOAAAHHh!! Were did you hear that Shanahan likes tebow, cause I sure didn't hear that, and me being a florida fan, I wouldn't want tebow here.

Also you are completely wrong about Okung. He is almost a mirror image of ryan clady who shanahan drafted in his last year in denver. Also okung is a great run blocker, pass blocker and very athletic.

Okung is said to have very good footwork. But he reportedly is significantly slower than Clady - a 5.25 40 vs. a 5.10 40. Shanny likes 'em fast. Therefore, instead of Okung, he may go for Bruce Campbell or Charles Brown or someone like that.

I think this is starting to look like the better option. And I think we have a FO competent enough to do this...the question is, will we have a trading partner?
