Yes I am having this conversation

But then you sign a guy who isn't as good.....who has injury concerns.

We are so insular. We only sign guys with 1 degree of separation.

He is better than Volson and more versatile. And better than Ford. And his presence would not stop us from drafting a guard high or signing another.

If we do one/both, Volson could be cut.

LT: OBJ
LG: High pick (Jackson)

OT3: ????

But, look at all the injuries we have. This guy can play 3 spots. Would be perfect fit as a backup.

I find it much more likely they this is another example of them caring little about the position and finding a cheap body to throw at it.  

If Joe Burrow ever benefits from good guard play in his career it will likely be by complete accident.  The team has made strides in how it operates, but this particular viewpoint is annoying as shit.  Don't pay guards, don't pay safeties.  It never changes.

The bad part is, they are shaving years off of the career of the best player in franchise history by trotting these scrubs out there.  Defenses knew Volson and Cappa were exposed last year and they were targeted heavily.  If Joe wasn't Houdini, things could have been even uglier.  One day Father Time is going to limit his escapability and these scrub guards are going to cost him more than just a few ugly hits.

I agree with anothe poster, why not pursue Jenkins and Hernandez (not yet at least) and pursue a worse IOL with an injury history and some bad years as well. He is also 31 going on 32. I have no clue somerimes the thought process our FO has when drafting or adding IOL.
