One solid guard will indeed go a long way, but you never plan for weak guard play. At least they'll have a path to something better than Volson with Ford or Patrick competing even if it's a slight upgrade.
The probability of landing a guard high looks better with college tackle prospects looking better at guard and a trade down for an 3rd. There are a lot of DL prospects and they can use help anywhere there not only at pass rushing edge. I could see them landing best DL in a trade down ( just too many there) and worst case a guard in the 3rd if they go true bpa for say a safety in the 2nd. I still don't like banking on a rookie to be ready, so they'll need to check in on Scherff and any solid post draft release. They can also trade a late round pick for someone that a team replaced in the draft. They just can't assume that Patrick, a rookie and your 3rd tackle that looked meh fixing the guard play.
For the record i agree
A starter and a high round rookie was my wishlist for guard
If we do that AND with signing that one guy we got we’re good at guard
