One of the best players in the draft, and we happen to need a LG. With the depth of the WR class, he makes a lot of sense at 12.

I'd compare Ogletree to Lavonte David from last year. An 'undersized' fast OLB who uses his speed and instincts to get into good position. David's probably a more sure tackler, but Ogletree hits harder, is longer, and is better in coverage - i bet he could handle guys like Keller and Hernandez, maybe Gronk too. Ogletree has crazy athleticism and makes a lot of game-changing big plays.

psu's nailed it...weakside attack lb...needs to wrap up better and tackle with better form...has a tendency to try and tackle head high...serious upside though...average instincts at this point...

Surprisingly I find myself agreeing with you. Although I would hate the thought of drafting another O-lineman high a LG makes a heck of a lot more sense than another OT. Especially with the talent I saw at the senior bowl that could be had in the middle rounds like David Quessenberry and Terron Armstead both of which would be good fits in the ZBS.

Still my preference would be DE. I think there will be a plethora of WRs in the 2nd round we can choose from and Trufant's and Poyer's final draft status will still depend on what they run at the combine. WR and CB, more than any other position, is still ultimately determined by speed as much as playing ability.
