Los Angeles' first-year coach values toughness above all else, and the team's draft picks reflect his philosophy
Sez Me … The Real NFL Draft begins on Day 2. When Super Bowl fat is put on. The best franchises keep eating. Their stomachs never get full. The first round is the gravy poured over the meat. It exposes the desperate and the foolish. It scratches the head. Defense wins championships. And yet 14 straight offensive players were taken atop Thursday’s Round 1, six of them quarterbacks.
“Offensive linemen, we look at as weapons,” Harbaugh said. “The tip of the spear.” It’s a QB league and they can’t succeed throwing from their backs. A record 17 offensive tackles were taken in the first three rounds, and Harbaugh may have gotten the best one in Alt. With the first three overall picks being quarterbacks, and the fourth a wide receiver, Harbaugh had his pick of every other player in America. Of course, tackle is one of the toughest positions to judge, so there are no guarantees.
