Some folks want a more versatile player (Jackson, NDSU kid). We don't know that Booker cannot play Tackle, we just know he hasn't been asked.

Dude definitely has the build to play OT at 6'5" and 34.5" Arms, Jackson has 33.5" arms and the NDSU kid has 32" Arms

I'm all about protecting the core of the pocket and being able to assert some dominance in the running game - especially in "must have" short yardage snaps.   With his wingspan and strength this guy can effect both.   I'm up for it.  And as much as we need a 3 technique and safety - both of which might be available, it's time to do what we've been asking for since the franchise got here:  protect his valuable self.

I'd go guard again in the 2nd if Ratlege is there.   Bookend guards is what I've been wanting for a while.  Give Joe a solid inner pocket and he's going to do a lot of damage in a surgical kind of way.
