I don't see a massive difference in the field. Cooper, Warford, Pugh, Winters, Bailey, and Watson are all guys that can be had in the 2-3 round and they are all pretty good. When you have guys like Williams, Wagner, Uzzi, and Hugh Thornton projected as 5-6 rounder that is a pretty deep RT/G class. If we have a shot at a viable QB or a guy like Mingo that has to be your 1st rounder. If we end up with a guy like William Gholston and Sanchez starting next year because we went G I will puke. That is just not an answer I like.

Sure, you CAN find a good guard in rounds 3-4, we found Slausson in the 6th round. The point is that Warmack is not going to be a good guard, he will likely be great. It isn't a sexy pick, but with Mangold and Dbrick, its a waste not toteam them up with at least one elite guard. We have already spent the last 2 years improving our defensive front, now its time to work on our offensive front with a player that can step in right away and make an impact.
