By the way, the Patriots have taken 5 IOL in the last 2 drafts.
Despite the old saw that tackles are valuable, guards and centers much less so, we saw many teams struggle to protect their QBs up the middle last year.
I suspect the Patriots are well ahead of the game in finding good value at guard, and that the NFL is going to start looking very hard at this position in the future, as teams move away from the running game more and more, sending smaller quicker DLs into the middle of the line.
No they're not.
They're no longer "ahead of the game" in ANY aspect of this football thingy.
