FO did a study last year showing that there isn't a big performance drop from guards drafted early to guards drafted late.<BR/><BR/>I think there's a reason Josh Betts was kept on the practice squad.

(also pretty sure his adoptive family will encourage him to stay in school). Will a kid so often compared to Orlando Pace and Jonathan Ogden slip to #30 or beyond, this year or next? I doubt it.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the draft, I didn't realize Boiman might go, but he's fiery and has played a lot this year--surely a good backup. I'd like to keep him and draft an LB 3rd-4th round. I think we are oversupplied, if possible, with young DTs, but not DEs. Peyton probably wants a new toy... thought I cannot imagine what, outside a new OG, OT, or cross-trained backup. Yes, we'd be drafting for depth (knock wood that there are no major injuries), which is pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>I saw Marcus Pollard get a 2-pt conversion on Saturday and cap it off with his crossbar dunk. A shame he's used so little in Seattle's base O.Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-90829329636906873042008-01-06T18:21:00.000-03:002008-01-06T18:21:00.000-03:00I'm not a big racing fan, but I really found that ...I'm not a big racing fan, but I really found that article interesting.
