Did you all catch how many OLine prospects were looked at? I think there will be at least one drafted if not two.

I'd prefer if they plug the holes with veterans as I want some proven talent with so many disappointing prospects on the line already, however, there are some exciting options in the first.

Penning is very intriguing, but Tomlin has not selected a non-P5 player in the first. Would they break the trend this year?

Green and Linderbaum are obvious options on the interior, but I am really warming up to Zion Johnson in the first round. Boston College does a great job sending linemen to the NFL and his game just seems solid from top to bottom. After seeing him as a solid 2nd rounder for most of the offseason, over the past month a lot seem to have him going as high as late first round. He's strong and athletic. At this point, he feels like he's going to go a lot higher than many expect.

I think my list would probably be:

1. Charles Cross (though he seems like he'll go MUCH higher)
2. Zion Johnson
3. Kenyon Green
4. Tyler Linderbaum
5. Trevor Penning

Zion says they what met with him 5 times? So some obvious interest there. Oh definitely on board with loading up Oline in free agency. I am hoping that is their free agent approach.

I can see why Zion would be attractive outside of game tape.

I' in the boat of the looking, a lot.

We all know we need STARTER type help and NOT soe dang "project" player.

We can't change last year's draft but if anyone on 448's list is available, we best take him.

We need two OL and draft one legitiate starter and bring in a FA starting capable center.

My $.58 worth and 5lbs. BACON, not thin or thick sliced,....................... just ONE slice.

Green had a bad combine
