This guy went #2 overall last draft. He spent the entire past season at guard.
And he is now playing tackle. Like he was always going to. Scherff is different. He will never have the skill set to play tackle at a high level.

This guy went #16 & was a Pro Bowler.
I will give you this, but I was talking about top 10 pick when I said "top pick." I was making the point that he will likely be there at our pick because no one will spend a pick that high on him. It becomes more likely the closer you get to the middle of the round. I am not saying Scherff will not be a great guard. He might even be our pick. But it's doubtful.

We don't need to have pro-bowl tackles to be successful. We need pro-bowlers at Center and at both guards.
Guard won't be a sexy pick for most, but with us letting go of Grubbs we need a sure thing. And Collins and Scherff are as about as sure as it gets. Both can be the next Zack Martin and be a pro-bowler in their first year.
At first I hated the idea of drafting Scherff, until I watched whole games of him playing and watched his combine drills and highlights. The guy is a powerhouse. He's thick and is the top offensive linemen in the draft IMO. Collins probably has a higher ceiling, but I don't think he can pass block as well as Scherff can right now.

Yes they will. Two guards were drafted in the top 10 in 2013 (Cooper at 7, Womack at 10). If teams think Scherff can be a stud on the inside, someone will absolutely pick him in the top 10. He's highly unlikely to be available.

And that was out of necessity that he moved back. If Jake Long wouldn't have torn his ACL, Robinson would have played the season at guard.

This is simply your opinion. He may or my not ever become a tackle in the NFL, it still doesn't diminish his value as a guard.

This front office has never spent a top pick on an offensive lineman, and the highest one they did spend was a major bust. I don't think they will start now.
The Payton & Loomis never ever make trades & accumulates picks ever. Oh wait........
