But is a guard who anchors well against the pass and blcoks well in tight spaces. My list of great OG's in teh drafts starts with 3 tackles who may need time to learn the guard position, could start but have a learning curb.

Campbell
Menbow
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.

I was really high on Savaiinaea at first. I thought he would make an excellent guard. Then he ran a sub 5 40 at the combine and he is a big boy so that is impressive and made me want him even more. So I had to dig a little more, and damn the more I watched I don’t think I want him at all. He looks great going forward but he does not look nearly as sturdy as his giant ass should pass blocking. He was only a true junior too. So I assume they told him he would be drafted fairly early.

I’m not against taking a guy who played tackle in college if they are BPA. I don’t know how much longer Orlando is around and he has a weird injury last year.
