    Not looking like he'll be available at 15. So what do we do now?

    Conklin scares me. He looks slow and though I like his mean streak I'd much prefer Decker. Conklin is more of a run blocker and if we're wanting to protect MM8, then Decker is the guy since he's better at pass pro. Decker has also played both RT and LT.

    However, something tells me Stanley goes #3 to SD and Tunsil falls to 7 or 8 and that's when JR will make his move.

    Short-term is the 3rd or 4th ranked tackle going to be that much of an improvement over Byron Bell? If he is gone no big loss because the drop off to Springs, Ifedi, Clark, Coleman is not that much, IMO. Just wait until the 2nd round and grab a guy like Ifedi to groom/start, and grab a pass-rusher/DB in the 1st.

    Why do you think Conklin will be gone? The only higher pick that brought him in for a visit is the Bucs. The other teams that brought him in for a visit pick below us. I think the mocks are overestimating the run on OT's in the top 10. I think the teams in the 7-14 range will mostly go defense.

    If Conklin is there, I say 99% chance we select him, like it or not (I personally like it). If Conklin isn't there, I think our selection will be: (1) one of the other top 4 OTs, presumably Decker, or (2) if Decker is also gone, the best corner or WR available. If (2) happens, I don't think we'll pick an OT until Day 3.

    Decker may actually be a br more well rounded than Conklin. But I wouldn't sweat the rumors we are hearing now anyway. The talking heads are just flapping their gums now until the action starts.
