PICK 1 & WHY

Before I begin ( ok, that made no sense.Think about it).

This is not the PICK 3 Mock I mentioned in a previous post. That, is for tomorrow. Instead, it is simply, a post of Name 1 player, and why, you are pounding the table for. Maybe it is Defense, to fill the gap and prolong our rein as a Top 5 Defense. Maybe, it is Offense, to raise us above Medacraty ( a new word Skollvikings69 invented. Not totally sure what it means, but it sounds important).

That all being said, Here We Go.

Mr. Obvious: Cody Ford. G/T. (grab a snickers bar, this could take a while). Is Ford the Best Guard or Tackle available at 18? Maybe, Maybe not. If not the best, his is damn good and his versatility makes him a wise choice. He has played LG in college. Despite potential lead feet, he would fill a 'need' at Left Guard. Our very own road grader, especial in the red zone and short yardage situations. I mentioned versatility. Cody has also played Right Tackle. When O'Neil was drafted, it was widely believed, with his skill set, he would one day be our Left Tackle of the future. Personally, I would like O'Neil to spend another year at RT, to gain more experience. There is a reason why Left Tackles are highly coveted. I don't think O'Neil is ready yet. If and should that time come, We move Ford out to RT. Thus, we would have a Phil Loadholt Take 2. Our future bookends in place, without the rookie jitters. This just makes more sense for the present and future, than trying to place players in positions and hope they learn fast. (example with Dillard, Rieff moves inside.). Ok, who is next?
