I thought P. Cox was the top CB at the Senior Bowl and would have no problem taking him in the second round. He usually makes good plays on the ball and has a ton of experience. The only thing keeping him out of the first round are some character issues. That's why I think Kyle Wilson is projected before him, but he's no saint either. He might have issues, but haven't been that publicized since he played at Boise St. But I've never heard of a player having an R.V. and a travel trailer with his picture and name on it since he was a sophomore at any school, much less a W.A.C. school..... It's almost laughable. To say he's got an ego would be an understatement, but I wouldn't hesitate to take him in the second round either.
On the guard issue, I don't see it as such a priority as some other positions. We lost our two starting guards for the season and we were still able to pass protect well and run the ball with some success once our RB's corrected their fumbling issues. The final Patriot's game is a good example of that. With that being said, I would still bring in some depth on the O-line in the final rounds or as F.A.. Three schools that have a good crop of linemen graduating are Tennessee, Iowa, and Nebraska. You'll notice two of those schools had some pretty good defensive tackles that these linemen had to face everyday in practice.
