Most of the mock drafts I have seen have 3 OG going in the 1st round[/quote]

Anything's possible, but 1996 was the last time more than 2 Guards went in the first round.

2 years ago pouncey and iupati both went in the first 20 picks if I'm not mistaken. Pouncey was a C/G.

Yeah like the last 4-5 years there has only been like one guard taken in the first round of the draft.

actually in the last 5 drafts there have been 6 guards or guards/centers taken in the first round.

Wow I don't know how I missed them all. Are you counting guys that play more than one position? Like the Pounceys and Brian Bulaga?

Well the Pounceys are centers, and on Wikipedia it lists Albert as a OT.

'eh mike pouncey was a guard for 2 years at florida and only moved to center his senior year after his brother left. He's considered a much better guard than center, which he struggled with at florida. Maurkice is more of a center, but was set to start at guard for the stealers until their center got hurt.

Albert played primarily as a guard at Virginia, and the Chiefs designated him as a guard when they selected him. The chiefs did move him to tackle last season, but he's primarily been a guard.


Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the top level guards have been going in the back half of the first round, and even top centers lately.

Everyone has to realize that the Bengals probably won't draft two guards because hopefully Boling will be able to take Bobbie's spot after this year. If they can get a stud like Castro or Glenn to plug in at LG they should be ok.

Atkins made decastro his bitch the last time we played shittburge.

I'd be interested to see what it would look like if they outlined those stripes in black.

 

Back to the drawing board and moot points.

 

Interesting to see Lewdog in this thread... made me do a "huh?" until I looked at the dates.

 

BTW... was Hayden banned?  I liked her.  I thought the tweeniebopper's point of view

was interesting and moronic and always good for a gits and shiggles.

FREE HAYDEN
