actually, I think football outsiders had him rated as an above average guard. and although until more recently it has never been in vogue to take guards in the 1st round, he (as an above average guard) was well worth him being picked where he was even if he was drafted as a LT. eta: I forgot he was #14 that year. I guess that could be a reach for him as a guard, I was thinking he was drafted later in the 1st. But I still wont call that pick a total bust, as he did fill in a hole for the o-line with an above average performance
