I like drafting big fatties in every draft. If it were up to me I'd take one in the first three rounds of every draft. Obviously I would prefer spending late seconds and late thirds but on occasion you need to use a first rounder. In many ways Dorsey has done this with Fisher, Morse, and our new LG. The fact of the matter is that oline accounts for a high precentage of a teams roster and spending FA money on linemen is generally a poor investment. I like that we added Schwartz at RT we really needed it, but face it a team is never finished investing in their oline. Think about it, would Gould you rather give Frenchy a big contract when he is up or invest another thirds rounder in the position. Now if LDT can be signed to a team friendly deal then great, but otherwise let someone else pay him and I'll take the comp pick.
