No way. Even if he falls to the 20s, I wouldn’t trade up for him.
Look at the history of offensive guards in the first round of the draft.
Big history of busts, very few hits, even when they hit it’s not a great pick in retrospect. For a guard to be a hit, he needs to be a pro bowler in half his years, due to the impact of the position.
Since 2010, 10 guards have been drafted in the first..only 3 have even made a single pro bowl.
Those 3 were
Mike Iupati drafted at 17
David Decastro at 24
Kyle Long at 20
Now, if we could move to the end of the first and only give up a couple fourths to move up at a discount, count me in.
