Both would be nice, but I'd want Mack first,...he appears to be a beast.

It's not too hard for me given a choice...I'd take Mack in a heartbeat..

A.Q. Shipley, 6-1, 304. Penn Stater won Rimington Award as nation’s top center in 2008.

He can be had in the 3rd or 4th....a late 2nd is possible.

This guy is a beast and can very well pan out to be a steal in the draft in a few years when you look back.

I cant believe there has not been more rumblings of this guy.

Have I mentioned Jonathan Luigs at all???

This is what I know. Center position is very, very strong in this draft - one of the strongest I've ever witnessed since looking in depth starting 2001.

It is always very Wise to pick to the strength of a draft especially when you have a need. But as a rule...if year after year you pick to the drafts Strengths...you will end up with a better caliber player. Then if you pick the Weakness of the draft.

I know I am almost Nauseating regarding my mentioning of Luigs. But this kid reminds me SO MUCH of a young Bentley

JMHO - Pro Bowl at OG or C

Where do you think Luigs will go?

Are you leery of A Smith at all? (You mentioned him and E Brown as being two trench players you would be happy with)

Don't know...more than likely 3rd round. But once the top 40 goes...rankings go out the window and they start to jump all over pending on the Teams Boards. What I would do is stake my OL nut reputation that this kid is going to do very well in the NFL.

ok Dj gotta say that if we truly had a LOT of talent, young or older, we wouldn;t be getting slaughtered by Pitt every season. Since we keep getting beat by Pitt and most every other team that matters, this leads me to one conclusion.....we need a higher level of talent on this team. I do believe the majority should and will come via the draft. I think we'll see Mangini pick up some key FA's only when the time is right, say when we're close enough talent wise to win the division and contend for the super bowl.

I would definitely draft OG, OT, C with the two 2nd rd. picks. Obviously we can only get two of the three in the 2nd rd. LOL Maybe we can get the other in the 3rd rd., I know we don't currently have a 3rd but I bet DA provides us with one via trade. I hope we get LB with our first rd. pick, either Curry or Maliluga (sp).
