2 players generating a ton of buzz with NFL scouts/execs-- Auburn OT Greg Robinson and UNC TE Eric Ebron.

I just don't see us grabbing a tackle in the 1st. Not even in the 2nd to be honest. Fisher is all in on Long and Barksdale.

I hope your wrong, no offence. If they don't start building a solid OL they better invest in a scrambling QB. If Sam goes down again.... idk, man. I know a OL can be built in later rounds but that takes time, we need a blue chip come in and do work.
Just my opinion.:cheese:
After listening to Snead today, I'm pretty certain they are gonna retain Saffold, so you may be right. Rodger gives them a lot of flexibility.
I think they keep going with the high impact guys. Maybe Watkins, or another WR later. I can see them trading down and taking a LB if they think he's a force, maybe a guy like Mack would give them a front 7 that challenges the Niners front 7. I think Fisher wants that. I remember Fisher saying Ogletree was his Patrick Willis.
No offense taken, I've been on the fence about taking an OT in the 1st for quite a while now, but no matter how I look at it, I always see Fisher backing Long and Barks as the starting tackles, and don't see him taking one in the 1st to back them up or eventually be the starter.
People bring up the fact he hasn't ever drafted a tackle in the first(I've even mentioned it before), but of course we all know he didn't because he didn't have to due to the tackles that were drafted before he became the HC and since he already had his starting tackles, he didn't need to draft any in the 1st.. But i think he feels the same way now, he has his starting tackles(Long and Barks), so he doesn't need to draft any 1st round tackles.
Just my opinion of course, i really have no idea what he is thinking, but is just what i believe currently.
I can completely see were you're coming from. As you said Fish always had solid Ts in TEN so we cant go off the draft history really because it was never an issue. I think we will have a much better idea how the draft is going to go based on if we resign Saffold.
I'm very high on Long and Barksdale, as well, but I think there's four positions that Greg Robinson could play at a very high level. A line of Long-Robinson-Jones-Saffold-Barksdale has a ridiculous amount of talent and versatility.I just don't see us grabbing a tackle in the 1st. Not even in the 2nd to be honest.

Rams need a guard that can start right away (Richardson) and a OT that can start a few games at RT/LT (Martin) then take over in 2015. Thw good news is that we can find guys like that in the late 1st and early 2nd
