i agree that OL would be the most conservative pick in the first round, according to our needs, but when was the last time Shanny was conservative when drafting? (insert all your gloomy references to playcalling here...)
but we're not the only team with line issues. if Clady and Williams are gone, i think a top RB prospect is a likely choice. Henry's restructured contract gives him what is basically backup money, right? and please correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't it also make him cuttable if he doesn't show some good stuff (and a good attitude) in TC? also, there was a rumour that we were offered a 7th round pick for Mike Bell. might that still be on the table? i'm just pointing out that just because we might have 50 RB's currently on the roster, doesn't mean much this early in the year. if Shanahan has confidence in Colbert, then WR isn't a priority, either.
remember, most of last year the offense was struggling with two of its best linemen injured. having them back, plus the experience garnered by the young bucks, just maybe it's not at the top of ol' Shanny's list...
just a few thoughts
