If Will Campbell is there do you take him and move him or Trevor to guard? (1 Viewer)

What do yall think?

I don't love the idea of having 2 short -armed tackles in Fuaga and Campbell. A lot of draft folk seem to think Campbell is a better Guard prospect than Tackle, in which case he's your LG fix. But do you take a LG at 9? Also, his run blocking grades at LT are not that impressive.

Not to say that that couldn't have a positive result, but I definitely feel like our assets could be used better.

I think Campbell is better suited for guard than tackle in the NFL. I wouldn't be opposed to taking him.

For all the talk about how awesome Campbell is, I just don't see it. I remember him giving up pressures at the worst possible time. Whether that is his short arms or his lack of technique, for a sure-fire 1st round tackle, I just do not see the allure.

I read somewhere the other day kicking fuaga inside was an option too with his arm length.

Watched all of LSUs games…. Sorry. I just don’t get the sure fire grade on him. Lots of penalties and pressure from his side. He was a see saw from what I watched. He either dominated or held or got blown by. I’m not against taking him, but I think he has a higher bust factor than many other guys that will be available.

He's a guard in the NFL.

We wouldn't move Penning.

I am not convinced that Campbell is a "can't miss" prospect at Guard.

I am also not convinced that even a home run at Guard with our first round pick makes us as much better as we would a premier offensive skill position player or a defensive lineman.

Let's take Guard later, even in the 2nd or 3rd round. We definitely need more depth there and hopefully a rookie develops or Saldiveri turns a corner. We have just invested so much in offensive line, we need the pieces we have already invested in to pay off.

I would not consider him one of the top 10 prospects in this class, so it’d be pretty disappointing IMO.

He and Fuaga on one side would be a pair of road graters.

 

[SAINT BIGAL]

The value is not there at the #9 spot. I would go BPA or possibly trade down a bit if the opportunity presents itself.

I'd rather just draft a guard later if that was going to be the case. Get someone that plays their natural position instead of moving guys around.

 

[Judge_Smails]

I’d say no on him in the first round.

Campbell plays too upright to play guard. If you want a tackle go ahead and take him but he doesn’t have ideal arm length.
