ColdBlueNorth Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I heard someone comment at one time that Buddy is not a believer in picking up offensive linemen in the 1st round. I took it at face value at the time, but with the upcoming draft I figured I would do some of my own digging. I looked at Buddy's "recent" history of draft picks 2000-2011, during that time I figure Buddy was either calling the shots on drafts, or at least very influential in the San Diego war room. It turns out to be true, that he has not taken an offensive linemen in the 1st round, but he has taken some fairly early... I will let folks draw their own conclusions, but percentage-wise he leans towards DB. 2000-2011 1st round picks by position: S, RB, DB, DB, QB, OLB, DB, WR, DB, DE, RB, DT 2000-2011 Draft position of first Offensive Lineman taken: 3rd, 5th, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd (2nd of 2 - 3rd round picks), 5th, 6th, None, 7th, 2nd, 5th, 4th.
