They invested in OL early and their line is pretty good. I expect Callahan will take Trent and Scherff, and use Moses as the swing backup. Add in Long and our line can effectively maul defenses. I wouldn't be surprised to see a big G/C guy in the 3rd/4th round.

I liked Flowers (didn't like him at 10) and Clemmings enough to pass on Scherff if Williams or Cooper were on the board. I, personally, believed Williams was the best player in the draft. Also, if we're so happy that we have a great OL coach, why not take a project? If technique is the real problem for a guy, why would be have Callahan coach him up?

Look, I'm not totally unhappy, but I think we're going to greatly regret passing on Williams.

EDIT: Also, if the Collins stuff isn't a big deal, you could have taken him in the 2nd or later in the first, if you could find a trade. I just didn't see Scherff as head and shoulders above the other O Lineman and if he ends up having to move to guard (I know that's not the current plan) then this wasn't a very good pick.
