Yeah, this was tough because I've always complained about the skins not drafting OL too. But very good Guards can be had later in the first or early 2nd, but not guys of Williams caliber. I know Jay wants him to start working at RT, but modern day tackles are much longer than "I shot the Scherff", and his pass protection skills in college left you begging for a tackle to help him.

I'm happy. Remember how people laughed at the Cowboys for picking their Center in the 1st round? Now everybody is saying...."look what the Cowboys have been doing in the draft". It was hilarious watching some of the Extremeskins ppl go apeshit over it, yet the same guys bitching about not drafting OL over the years.
