But is a guard who anchors well against the pass and blcoks well in tight spaces. My list of great OG's in the drafts starts with 3 tackles who may need time to learn the guard position, could start but have a learning curb.
Campbell
Membow
Banks
Booker
Jackson
I think all will be gone by 35th pick.
It is likey at least 2 of the tackles will be gone by our 17th pick.
Yeah, I think if Banks falls to 17 you have to at least consider drafting him and starting him at Guard. I might change my tune later if we actually get real offensive line help in FA but protecting Burrow should be a priority.

I was listening to Sirius today, and PK mentioned there might be more interior olinemen going in RD 1 than QB.
I'm at the point now that if we take Tate Ratledge at 17, I wouldn't be mad.
There are about 4-5 OGs I'd be good taking at 17.

I also wouldn’t mind a G at 17 then attack defense with the rest of the picks. Depends on if they think a good G will be there in rounds 2/3.
However, I really don’t think they are going to take a guard in round one as that’s pretty rare for them to do. I have a feeling a guy at a more “premium” position will fall to 17 and they will feel like they have to take him due to him being by far the BPA on their board.
I am excited to see what happens and who they end up with.
