Sorry, wasn't aware that we had a need for a Roy "Horsecollar" Williams clone.

Iupati and Pouncey are the obvious guys there, but you'd be in good position to land a guy like Colt McCoy (or Tebow) in the middle of the round (as opposed to waiting and hoping one gets to 37), and both offer better long term value than Mays (as for the immediate value, I guess that depends on how you view Mays).

I like Sean Weatherspoon, Golden Tate, and Ryan Mathews in that spot as well.

I didnt even consider weatherspoon, but perhaps i should have. And for some reason, i've just been assuming that we pick up a RB in the later rounds(gotta gut feeling about Blount). I have a feeling someone will draft McCoy or Tebow somewhere in the 2nd half of the 1st round, i just hope it wouldnt be us. Both are long-term projects and its just too high to draft a project IMO. Golden Tate would be interesting... i just cant see us drafting a WR. Seems to vinny-esque to me.
