Players I love:

Phil Loadholt, OK, 6-8 337. He's played great whenever I've seen him play (admittedly, on TV only). He played LT in college, but I think he's the answer for us at RT.

Alex Mack, Cal, 6-5 300. He's a Center which is a secondary need for us at this time, IMHO. Nevertheless, I love the way this guy plays football. I'd target him as the second OL we pick.

Players I like:

Max Unger, Oregon, 6-5 300. Strong, tough, and quick. Scouts say he could play any position on the line. That's a true luxury for a team. I just like the way he plays. Like Mack, he's a guy I'd like with our second selection of the draft. He may even make more sense for us than Mack.

Alex Boone, Ohio State, 6-8 313. He's a good pass protector and I think he could play RT for us. He played LT in college.

With our third pick in the first three rounds, I'd take a LB or DE. The LB position seems to be pretty deep this year, so we might be able to get a good LB in the third round. I'm not nearly as impressed with the DE talent this year.

I agree about Mack. Unger is good but they tore him up at the Senior Bowl. Mack faired a little better from what I hear. I like Phil Loadholt and think he could do something good in the NFL but I'm not sold on him anymore. There are other players I think are better than him that could go after him. Alex Boone has drinking problems from what I hear and we don't need that.
