But yeah, I think we need five guys and I think taking the best guard at the top of the second round will help us more in the long run then drafting maybe the 5th or 6th best tackle. I'd rather draft an overlooked tackle in the fourth round, sign a veteran free agent and see if we can get a tackle in the first round the following year if it meant getting a pro bowl caliber guard in the second.

We should draft him simply because his name is "Vladamir." You can't have enough Vlads on your football team.
