The good thing is we don't need a guard right this moment. It is something we could plug next year and then take another shot in the draft. Do think we need to find a #3 LB this year though. Then we have the huge hole DD will create in the long term.
We might not need a guard or a 3rd LB right now but there's a good chance we'll need either one at any point between game one and game seventeen.
Ram's knee brings back memories of Jaamal Brown. At some point Hurst becomes our starting guard which means that if Penning struggles we go from an All-Star OL to an All_Scrub Ol for the fourth year in a row.
