The more I look at it, I really don’t want them to reach on a project edge that is above average at best as a ceiling. I think I’d rather have a great guard for the next 5 years.

Follow that up with helping the defense with the rest of the picks.

I’m tired of seeing them reach for picks. Doesn’t happen all the time, but probably half the time it happens.

Never upset with going trenches in the first round, but haven't heard many Guards mentioned that would be available that would be BPA there 
unless we trade down. DT is where I am leaning along with TE if Kenneth Grant isn't there and Warren is. Hopefully we get at least 1 Guard in FA 
and I would prefer 2 starting Guards to free up the Draft.
