I guess I won't be winning a prize for guessing who Rich's draft crush is this year!!
If we take Dawkins hopefully it works out better than the last time a Rich favourite was tabbed. That was DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa and right now we should be drafting to replace him
FWIW I wouldn't rule out Lamp as our 1st round pick. He proved capable of handling Alabama's best players one on one, is very strong, super athletic and his arms are longer than those of perennial Pro Bowler Joe Thomas. Will he pass the Giants filters at Tackle? Possibly not but I get the feeling someone will give him a shot to play there.
I've thought the same thing about Lamp. There aren't a ton of gems to be had in this draft for the offensive line - Lamp is one of them IMO.
Not a sleeper by any means, but probably a guy who could be had at the back end of the draft is offensive tackle Dan Skipper. He's friggin huge! 6'10" 310 lbs and has potential. He would need to be coached up to play at the NFL level, but that pretty much defines every OT prospect. He would not be a huge risk and possibly end up being a steal in the 5th or 6th round. Like every prospect - no one knows for sure if they will pan out and after the first two or three picks, you take risks and hope they pan out.
Regardless, I kinda like the thought of Skipper on the team.
