Want to get to the Superbowl?

Check out this link and scroll down to 2/4/06. It is a wonderful article about drafting linemen.

 

In the last decade, only 10 OGs have been selected in round one, yet 6 of them have played in superbowls.

 

Imo it is a must read for you draftniks. Hope you like it.

Outstanding info.......I really do not know why, but I love this Daryn Colledge OT from Boise State. If this kid is available in the 2nd, I hope we grab him up quick as snot. He is ranked sixth on your referenced board and I am looking to see him after the combines. If this team goes D-line in the first this kid should be here and I really do think he will be a steal.

Colledge isn't bad @ all. I would hope we could land a guy like Jonathan Scott in the 2nd, but his draft stock seems to be improving to the point where he's been mentioned as a potential first round pick.

Thanks. I have read this article a couple of times, and each time something else amazes me. It also points to the importance of NOT drafting a bust with a first round pick. I know....easier said than done.

Because Guards are not often drafted in round 1, the ones that are have an astounding success rate.

Sadly, most mocks show the Steelers grabbing Jean-Giles. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
