Why not move Moses to guard? And Scherff to Tackle?
He was a left tackle in college we drafted him 5th overall to play guard? I don't dislike the pick I am not saying it is a bad pick. I am saying we could have traded down(ya ya the phones stopped ringing when the lb was taken) and got scherff in the late 20's possibly in the 2nd round. I am not sure anyone had him as the best left tackle in the draft.
Again I like the player love what the o-line looks like now I could stand to see an upgrade at center.
Imo the tackles are the best players on the other line 1st left 2nd right 3rd Center 4th left guard 5th right guard. We have the #5 overall player in the draft starting at right guard. Does anyone in the league have the 5th overall or better starting at rg? The right tackle that beat him out was drafted in the 3rd round. Scherff started training camp out at RT wasn't doing great they gave Moses a shot and he took full advantage of it.
5th overall pick for a right guard should be perennial pro bowler type player. (Scherff can definitely be that guy.......time will tell)

The player that 90% of pundits, who have never drafted a single player, said we should pick, came in out of shape:
Jets' Leonard Williams says he wasn't in good enough shape to thrive vs. Cleveland Browns | NJ.com
And his excuse was that coaches really focused on conditioning in college and players have to condition themselves more in the NFL.
HE IS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, WAS DRAFTED 6TH, PAYED MILLIONS, AND CAME IN OUT OF SHAPE.
McLovin probably believes trivial things like work ethic an character are just as important as raw talent. Skinzman is 100% right. The talking heads on television are wrong more than they are right and make these draft rankings like putting together a Madden roster with measurables.
Seriously, when was the last time a guy on ESPN said a player's lazy reputation will hurt their draft stock.
"IMO" stands for "in my opinion" and not "in McLovin's opinion" because he seems to care not for your Scherff is too good to play RG BS.
McLovin drafted him as a good football player. Like he has mentioned in countless interviews, you worry about how to get good players on the field after you have them on the team.
Cravens is a great example and similar to Scherff. Nobody knows if he is a LB or a SS. Nobody cares because he is a good player.
And, player personnel has improved a lot.
