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.

I am well aware and agree
it should be noted this is only true for as long as Drew is our QB assuming his successor has a little more to offer in the height department. I have seen a lot of Scherff myself, and I have no issues with us taking him at 13 but I just don't think it will happen. 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. It could happen. But I don't see it. We have had a lot of top flight players on the line since 2006 and almost every single one was a late round pick who they developed. I am fairly sure they are confident in their ability to do this. Unless they think everyone on the roster is a complete failure, they will spend our top pick on a need that is harder to address later. Pass rusher or WR. Just my opinion. I will happily admit I was wrong and be happy with the Scherff pick if it happens.
