I could live with Eifert at #12.

He's probably not the BPA, but if Lane Johnson and Johnathan Cooper are off the board then he's in the discussion.

If there is no top shelf O-lineman or pass rushers left for us at #12 there are a handful of guys I'd rather roll the dice on than take a DB like Rhodes, Trufant or Vaccaro.

Of that short list (Eifert, Austin, Allen, Jones, etc) Eifert is the guy I think is the safest bet to end up a pro bowl level player.

What do you make of this?....(about Lane Johnson)

The fast-rising prospect has been one of the surprises of the pre-draft season. The funny thing was, for some reason, there weren't any offensive line coaches at Oklahoma's Pro Day to work him out. I can't figure out why that happened. - Gil Brandt

I am sticking with my crystal ball and saying that round two will get us a CB and a WR.

My dream draft would have us doing some dealing and walking away with Lane Johnson, Tyler Eifert and Tank Carradine with the first 3 picks and then landing a corner.
