And in general, for me, there is no "if need be, can be" in the trenches. We have to line up the best personnel we can get there, from day one on. However, I haven't seen a single clear-cut candidate who could take over at LG so far at all.
Therefore, I would not count out an o-line pick in the first round.
A more constant performance? You realize he was injured most of last year... right? And him coming back at the end of the year just "coincidentally" led to Gore rushing for 300+ yards in the last 2 games of the season?
Anthony Davis gets respect around the NFL as arguably the best RT, and most likely the best run blocking RT in the NFL. Yes, he gives up the occasional sack, but he also has games where he shuts down top pass rushers like Clay Mathews, and is an intimidator that sets the tone for our OL.
It's just not realistic to expect a RT in a power-running scheme to be a shut-down pass protector. If he was, some team would make him rich playing LT.
Would be shocked to my core to see Anthony Davis go anywhere anytime soon.
