McShay and Kiper's mock 2.0

[fishgutmartyr]

My thinking was versatility. Beatty is a tackle this year, as is Pugh. But if we can get Martin playing guard while learning OT, that's in our favor: regular season experience without the pressure of playing tackle. Naturally, if he outplays Pugh, then reverse the two. Then let it sort out the following season. That way, we don't have to panic if we draft a couple of guards and one of them doesn't pan out.

 

That would be the paper theory, anyway. And pretty typical of what the team has tried to do over the past 10 years. Granted, with some mixed results.

 

The one wildcard is if both outplay Beatty. Kind of a good problem to have, until we look at contracts.
