I am starting to think that the player they get in Rd 2 might just be the best lineman still on the board, and there is a chance that could be a guard.  I am not sure that I would take a tackle like Walker Little (who I like) or Spencer Brown (who I love, as a long term prospect) and project them to start at RT and move Reiff inside.  Nor do I think either of those players would make a solid option at RG.  But a player like Ben Cleveland could be a really good starting RG and then in Rd 3, you could go after a tackle that you could try to develop behind Reiff.  I am unsure if Spencer Brown would make it to Rd 3, but I would be doing backflips if we came away with a first three rounds of Chase, Cleveland, and Brown.  

I just realized that our #2 and #3 picks would be CLEVELAND BROWN.  Funny.

Another possibility is sliding a bit in Rd 2 and trying to pick up an extra 3rd that could be used a pass rusher.  

I could see an IOL taken in Rd 2 who starts at RG and then someone like Brown or Walker taken in Rd 3-4 to groom behind Reiff.

I could also see a scenario where they take a guy in Rd 2 who could start at RG as a rookie then move to OT in 2022 (Cosmi, Leatherwood), and then grab a developmental guard like Kendrick Green in the middle rounds.
