People need to explain to me why they think "Guards" are such a safe pick in the 1st round? I already mentioned Cooper and Warmack who have bounced around but the last two guards drafted in the 1st round have been
2016 49ers Joshua Garnett - Mixed reviews and hurt
2015 Lions Laken Tomlinson - Traded to 49ers for a 5th round pick.
IMO, drafting a Guard in the 1st round isn't safe at all. The success of the position is so random it seems. UDFA guards have gone on to have HOF careers. You are better off looking for guard prospects in the middle rounds.
