I stand by what I said this year that I'd like to see Hatchett or Memelaar there. Someone who feels like a natural guard. Maybe Rosengarten if Kirkland does come back at LT. Neither Ale or Buelow looked or felt like natural guards.

All in all though, everyone sucks until they don't.

Rosengarten is a left tackle. Ideally Kirkland comes back, because Rosengarten is still a bit light, and Fautanu is probably best a left guard even though he could play left tackle.

Memmelaar could probably play either guard spot. I'm not really sold on Hatchett as a guard, maybe center.

There's literally a guy named Gaard on the team. Why are we even asking this question?

Case closed.

Shit I forgot about Fautanu. I like him at LG unless there’s no better option at LT. He still feels kind of like a tweezer to me though.

Hopefully Fautanu plays left guard. Maybe Curne can move inside and, if he's big enough yet, Rosengarten can get some time at RT this year.

Rosengarten, Memelaar and Fautanu are the three guys I still have a lot of hope for on the OL.

He might play Right Gaard. I bet you didn’t think of that, did you?

My guess is that Fautanu is the starting LG and would move to LT if Kirkland went down. I don't mind Curne at RT and Bainvalu is set at RG.

Big question is who starts at C.

I hope Mele. I don’t want Buelow or Kalepo competing for a starting job. Neither seem to have it. Huff has really struggled to get the top 5 out there in the right spots.
