Pragmatic Bus Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 in the last 6 years there have been less than one guard taken in the first round you can get quality OL in later rounds Mayock's Top Guards 2007 NFL Draft 1.

rick34125 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 in the last 6 years there have been less than one guard taken in the first round you can get quality OL in later rounds not so fast. that only means that OL are not generally premium players to go in the first round. i would like to know historically how well 1st round OL have performed.

James Hasty Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 in the last 6 years there have been less than one guard taken in the first round you can get quality OL in later rounds Less than one guard = zero. You know this is not true. .83 per year X 6 Years = 5 guards taken in the first round in the last six years. Why are you posting your opinion as if it were fact?

James Hasty Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 first off i'm not talking about OL i'm talking about guards. and the only allpro was hutchingson Shaun Andrews for the Eagles was taken 16th overall and mae the pro bowl at guard last year. Again, you are posting incorrect information. Why are you making up facts to support this bogus arguement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you posting your opinion as if it were fact? i posted the facts and opinion separately Shaun Andrews for the Eagles was taken 16th overall and mae the pro bowl at guard last year. Again, you are posting incorrect information. Why are you making up facts to support this bogus arguement? thats my opinion and hutchingson is the only all pro i see, andrew has been to one pro bowl so i dont consider him all pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNorth09 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You can get a good O-line player anywhere in the draft. Last year 's best LT was taken in the 2nd round and last year's best Guard was taken in the 4th round. However, this year's draft is not as deep at the O-line positions as last year's draft which is why I'm not opposed to drafting Blalock in round 1.
