Might be a controversial pick (so what else is new) but if we were to go offense in the first round, I can't think of a much better pick than 6'5 C/G/T Barrett Jones out of Alabama.
I look at him similarly to Max Unger coming out of college. Team leader, good kid, smart player. (He graduated with a 4.0 in 3 years) I really think he can play RT in the league, and at worst you have a guy that can come in and start at RG and be there for the next decade. Moffitt and Paul McQ have done a serviceable job, and who knows what we have in Sweezy, but this guy won't make a lot of mistakes and I can't see how he isn't an upgrade immediately. A guy that can legitimately play 5 different positions isn't easy to find.
I know people want a WR if we went offense in the 1st, but with how deep this WR class is I think you can get a few great playmakers later on in the draft.
I'm not sure if he's a Cable guy (You could argue they seem to prefer maulers over technique guys in the draft) but if we could get a Max Unger RG clone, wouldn't that be well worth the pick?
A Okung/Carp/Unger/Moffit/Jones line with McQ + Sweezy for depth sounds good to me! Anyone else watch Bama this year or have any thoughts on this guy?
