Top Guards In The Draft

I honestly do agree with Hammer in that it is a direction we could take, I just don't think this draft is a good chance of it. Theres not a lot of talent at guard this year and it seems pretty deep at defense so I think we'll stack up on that. If it was any other year I wouldn't be surprised to see us go guard. We will definitely need to address it in FA either by re-signing Spain or going out and getting a stop gap. Kline can probably play at RG but we also need some depth behind him. Coaches don't seem to be impressed by Tretola at all even if I thought he was alright in preseason

 

I don't think Robinson looks at this roster and thinks "OH, I better draft a guard in the first now." Hopefully, he sees what we all see, the swiss cheese secondary.

I just don't see any of the fill ins leaving for bigger contracts elsewhere, so why not resign them instead of drafting a G for the future? They're playing well. Fat Chance was the weakest link and he was our first round G!

 

We had a good OL when we drafted Lewan? I don't think so. Also, both Spain and Kline are young, actually, our whole OL is pretty young.

You've gotta be trolling, it's the only explanation.

 

We need another guard like the Titanic needed another hole. Chance might even come back and learn to play. We have Bell coming back too. Spain, Schwenke and Matias (6-5, 309). We also have Barton on the PS.

 

Chance long gone. Bell Spain Kline are all stop gaps.

It probably won't happen but I wouldn't be surprised to see a third round pick or later used on guard.

 

We had Roos and Stewart.

 

At the end of their careers...

 

FYI, I've watched 3 Norte Dame games and their LG is a beast!

A lot of our need position talent have warts. Nelson doesn't. Would not be shocked if we and others tried to copy the Cowboys and build a truly dominant OL. Our OL problem is the same as mularkey and our wr's. Look good against bad teams, OK against solid teams, but not do good against better competition!
