I want the 5 best linemen on the field protecting the franchise. If one of the Browns goes down; I doubt Mims forgets how to play OT (I get I'm just assuming he won't forget). I'd rather him get gameday stats. but we've been over this before.
Right, I do kind of assume he would struggle at guard because his height says he would. Maybe he would be a great guard. My main point though is every practice rep he takes at a guard position is one he does not take at the tackle position. We need him to be a tackle, not a guard. I really do not expect Brown to play 17 games this season (but he might). At any rate, there is talk now of Mims taking the starting RT gig. Maybe Gilliam or Kirkland will step up in camp and take the starting LG position. I'm all about the best 5 on the field as long as it does not hamper the development of a first-year player. I think putting Mims in at guard would do just that.
