First, to state the obvious: as the roster stands right now, the Patriots have no left guard at all. Given that, I thought it might be worthwhile to ask which prospects are likeliest to be able to step in and d0 the job from game 1.
Putting aside other draft valuation factors -- positional flexibility, "upside," etc. -- I went looking for experience, technique and LG-specific athletic traits. Here's my starter list in order of CBSSports rankings, curious for your thoughts:
Blue Chippers (presumed gone before #64)
Brandon Scherff, Iowa
La'el Collins, LSU
Cameron Erving, Florida State
Jake Fisher, Oregon
A.J. Cann, South Carolina
Dark Horses
B.J. Finney, Kansas State
Mitch Morse, Missouri
