Marvin appears to be on record that Boling won't be moved permanently to left tackle, however, Boling as a left tackle fall back option, if say we get Quenton Nelson, could work out.
Nelson may go before we pick, however, or Marvin may mean what he says about Boling and possibly target a 1st round left tackle.
We will know their General Plan for the Offensive Line in less than two months and I want to be Excited about what they end up doing.
Yeah, Nelson is that type of player that if he falls to us you have to take him. Probowl Guard soon enough, one of the
best Guard prospects to come out in years and he can also play OT and has long arms. Trading down and grabbing
either McGlinchey or Kolton Miller also sounds like a possibility.

Yeah, we would have to restructure his contract accordingly. Right now he is cheap even for a Guard since he is solid
and as we saw is very versatile. Has even played Center at times, just happy we have Pollack now instead of PA who
always played favorites instead of trying to get the best O-line onto the field. Bodine was not a good Center, he might
of actually made a decent Guard, but that was never tried.
