[Phil DeNomme]

Agree with Otah.  I'd take him in a trade down only.

I don't see why not. Benson is in the last year of his rookie contract
anyway so a decision has to be made on him sooner or later. Plus if
the top three OTs are gone and Mendenhall is sitting there it would be
difficult passing on him.

If we're dead set on an OT and either Williams or Clary don't fall to
us I hope we trade down. Otah seems fine but not at 14. Sliding down a
few spots, getting an extra pick or two later and still getting Otah
would be my preference.
