Trading down 10-15 spots, taking Cush, and picking up a few extra picks is one scenario I’d be okay with.

I think Cushenberry is better too. Ruiz looks like he is doing more..but Cush controls his man better.

The Mel Kiper thing in 1994 with the Colts is classic.

Who the hell is Mel Kiper!

I remember watching the Trev Alberts debate, for years after he "busted" ESPN inflated Mel's ego for his evaluation at the time as correct

I wouldn't rule out Matt Hennessy as a 3rd round option for a center.

I like him a ton. I expect he goes before 96 though.
