I really hope he's another diamond found by a team that does well with late round/UDFA offensive linemen, but I just don't know.

Wonder if this makes us go guard in the later rounds?

I guess this means that we aren't going guard in the 1st round

Why does it mean that? All it means is that right now, he's the starting guard

The title of the thread isn't exactly what Loomis was quoted as saying. I'd like to grab a Guard in the first 3 rounds, even if it's just an eventual replacement as Evans, but I would be ok with Lelito as a starter. In fact, my opinion is that he will be starting, and drafting a Guard early makes Evans trade bait, or at worst a June 1st cut.

Hopefully that's what it means. There is a really easy way to correct that though...Scherff/Collins. The other way is to pray that some later round picks work out. Hopefully we go for the sure thing.

I'm just hoping that Loomis isn't trying to hint or insinuate something...

You're right. He said "leader" at left guard, which I figured everyone would assume meant starter.

I meant more of the offseason/season. Not a big deal, but it is a little misleading. "Entering the offseason as the favorite for LG" is a different statement than "entering the season as starting Guard." Like I said, it's no big deal, just wanted to give you a heads up before people lost their shite.

Guard any where in draft is all that means

Tim has a way to go to win the starters job guys.

Just a little misdirection so no one knows what they plan to do draft day.

Not with first pick, but if Collins slips to 31, very possible, he is headed to NOLA IMO

He should've been the starting center last year.
