Excellent lineman are very expensive in FA and should be a priority in the draft.
It is looking like several teams drafting ahead of us at 13 will be reaching for QB's.
There are a ton of QB needy teams desperate to reach for a QB early in the draft. That benefits us greatly.
“As far as interior offensive line class, the top end of it’s really good," Mayock said in a conference call on Monday.
OG Notre Dame’s Quenton Nelson is a instant starter and star.
OSU center/guard Billy Price is a rock.
Aubrun OG Braden Smith and UTEP OG Will Hernandez are strong.
There is a huge drop off in talent after these guys. We must get one of them.
They will not be there when we pick in the second round.
Getting a second tier guard in the free agency is getting another Shawn Lauvao.
I do not want that.

I'm not sure all of them will be gone by our second pick. Guards are undervalued, but I agree in principle, I think NT is very similar in this regard, so I throw Vea and Payne in this same category.

That said, Id take Barkley over Hernandez, Price, or Smith.

Nelson, Barkley, and Vea are elite IMO. You don't turn down elite for excellent even at a hard to find position.


Edit: I've also heard a lot of good things about Isaiah Wynn and Wyatt Teller. I need to watch done of Teller because I've seen him ranked much lower than these guys. Point being, I think you can get a good starting G in rounds 2 and 3 of this draft, but to your point, Nelson is head and shoulders above Teir 2.
