Better hope Dru Samia is ready to step up.....

The guards left for a zone scheme are bleh. Cush is way to lead footed and he's the highest rated OG left on the board....way down the board.

I'm big on Jonah Jackson. LG, athletic, said to be a great fit for ZBS, played at big time program at OSU (before he played at my alma mater - Rutgers!). Would love to have him fall to us in the 3rd.

I like it.

Hit me up on this thread, draftniks: lay out some OG possibilities that would be nice.

LG Shane Lemieux started over 50 games at Oregon who runs a zone scheme.  

Probably a Round 2-3 guy.  I think he is somewhat limited athletically but a high floor low ceiling type.  

Named to 1st and 2nd team All American.  Here is his Bio

I like Robert Hunt, if we aren't looking for a LT. He has played LG but could also play RT if we consider moving O'Neill to LT.

It's not Samia I'm worried about. It's the left guard.

I think you're missing a lot of the tackles who project to guard...Robert Hunt, Ben Bartch, Akeem Adeniji, Danny Pinter. And the centers who can play guard...Matt Hennessy, Cushenberry

And Josh Jones who could bump inside and probably be a really good LG, but has the traits to also play LT.

Oh definitely. But I don't expect he'll be around much longer. Same with Ezra. Actually, I think that's the ideal if we can't swing the Williams trade. You'd have Reiff at LT, draft a LT, play him at LG for a year and move him outside when Reiff leaves.
