I can't see them not playing Massie after all his progress. If they really like Brown that much I don't see them taking an OT with #7.

I think they probably take Warmack if he's there, otherwise they take Fisher. Fisher at LT and Brown at RT is an upgrade over Brown at LT and Massie at RT. Levi is not going to hold up at LT for BA's down-the-field passing attack IMO. Fisher is a natural athletic left tackle, Levi is not.

One thing I saw during the drills at the combine for offensive linemen is it is a very athletic class. Not just a good running class, but a good bending class. Armstead probably jumped the most moving from a 4/5 rounder to a 3/4 rounder but that is due to more than just his 40 time. I really hope we come away from this draft with at least two offensive linemen, because I think we could really improve for the future.

I am really interested to see where Armstead goes. I think there were a bunch of FO guys who thought they would steal him after the week he had at the senior bowl but now thats out the window given his combine performance.

He is intersting. Especially since he was highly recruited but went to Arkansas Pines Bluff to pursue track and field as well (was a shot putter). What I liked is that he dominated at the East/West game and then showed top athleticism at the combine. I won't say he is a 1st rounder, but it is difficult for me to believe that a guy who can dominate the players at that All Star game and is a top athlete isn't worth a 3rd rounder. I believe he has shown he is one of the top 100 players in the draft.

Considering how slow Stepfan Taylor and other RB's ran, maybe they should turn Armstead into a RB.
