I believe we are stuck with the #4 pick regardless of who is on the board.
I just hope we get Okung; I hope he is there, and we draft him.

Why Okung? other than the fact that the mock draft pundits all say we'll draft him?

I think that Okung is the only solid LT prospect in the draft. In my opinion, Bulaga and Williams are better suited to RT. Brown, Davis, and Campbell have high risk.
After Okung, who I believe is head n shoulders above everyone else in this draft class, I think Rodger Saffold has a better chance to be a quality starting LT then the rest.
Okung is the only plug n play Left Tackle in this draft, and the only lineman worth a top 10 pick, IMO.
