I agree. Fans don't like to see linemen get drafted, but both of our lines were our weakest positions, as far as both depth and quality. I don't know if either of these guys will be great, but what we needed was starters, and I think that we got them.
If we had picked a WR, I believe that we would not have seen them until next year. I don't think any of the WRs this year are capable of beating out Bruce/Johnson/Battle for a starting position (except DeSean Jackson would have been a starting KR/PT). We haven't even really seen Jason Hill yet. So please relax. I think with the rest of our picks, we will be able to take the best available, probably focusing on, yes, WR, but I would like to see an OT and FS.
Also, keep in mind that Takeo Spike is still hanging out until after the draft, and he may be able to help us out at OLB.
