Like Hero I love the idea that he's your Guard early, but gives flexibility if you lose Trent or McGlinchey doesn't cut it. To me that's more than worth #12.
He better. Bad guard play, more so than any other 1 factor, cost him the Super Bowl. I'm sure a film junkie like Kyle can see that.
I'm done with hoping these guys get better. Too much talent at our offensive skill positions to be held back by subpar Oline play. Get Mack for now, draft a Center to start later on down the road, draft Slater to start off at guard and potentially move to tackle if necessary. Sign Ben Garland to back up at center and guard, then we are in business.
