An altogether apropos comment.
It seems everyone is overlooking the Belechick oft stated preference regarding Offensive linemen. Namely: "...You draft left tackles; and the less successful ones, you make in to good Guards. also " ... You can always find a Guard..."
Cannon, Fleming and Devey were all tackles in college. All three are potential Guard candidates in his eyes. All have taken some snaps at Guard already. I expect that BB will draft a lower rated tackle and convert him to Guard, too.
Good point. I think that both Cannon and Fleming could eventually see time at the RG position in the near future.
Not as sure about Devey, although I have a feeling that the OL coach/BB don't see him in as poor of a light as most of us here do. I still think that Kline has potential, but we'll have to see. I think Kline is a backup who should make the team. Not as sure about Devey though.
