The issue is you can always point to 25+ guys in the 1st who are projected to go in the 1st all pre draft who do in fact go in the 1st. Hernandez is the #2 guard (behind Nelson) and will go around where most #2 guards go 22-32.
I'll rephrase, Hernandez won't make it to 46. A fall to 33-36 is possible, but highly unlikely due to the lack of Tackles projected to go. Teams need O line so if it isn't tackles then it'll be interior O lineman.
As I said, DeCastro was expected to be a top 10 pick in 2012.
I know this, because I was calling for him all pre draft and was told that there was 0 chance we would have a shot at him.
I even wanted us to go back to back OG in that draft and take Glenn with our 2nd 1st round pick.
As important as OG is, most don't go in the top 10. As hard as this is to believe now, but we might have a shot at Nelson. I can also see McGlinchey going before Nelson. However you are right that Hernandez may not make it to us in round 2 and he actually may be our 1st round pick. I don't disagree on the likely hood of where a player will be picked, I was just reminding people that slides do happen and not to be surprised if a player that was a consensus top 10 pick is there at 46 as it happens every year.
