    The Texans have a guy like that. His name is Brevin Jordan. Unfortunately, Brevin's been injured the last two years.

    I'm not necessarily opposed to picking Oregon guard Emmanual Pregnon at 28. Here is Draft Buzz's summary of him.

    Scouting Report: Summary
    Pregnon's tape screams day-one contributor with the blend of power, hand technique, and consistent performance that franchises covet when constructing their interior offensive line for championship runs. Teams running gap or inside zone schemes will love his ability to generate movement and create running lanes, while his pass protection reliability provides the foundation to step into a starting role without needing the developmental patience most rookies require before seeing significant snaps. The adjustment to NFL speed and the power-finesse combination that league defensive tackles bring every down will test him early, but his anchor handles pure power beautifully and his hand usage provides legitimate counters when defenders try to speed rush his edges.

    The best interior rushers in the world marry strength with suddenness that can exploit his hip stiffness on redirection moves, which will be the primary area requiring immediate refinement at the next level. His intelligence picking up games and stunts should translate once he adjusts to the heightened pace, though his lack of positional flexibility limits his versatility compared to guards who can swing to multiple spots. Still, pure guards who can anchor and move people carry premium value when they've proven it against top-shelf competition over nearly 3,000 career snaps like Pregnon has, and that experience matters when evaluating pro readiness.

    This is a mauler who brings toughness, reliability, and legitimate starting ability at guard from the opening kickoff. His journey from unranked recruit to consensus All-American reflects both rare physical gifts and relentless development that should continue under NFL position coaches. He won't blow you away with athletic versatility or scheme flexibility across multiple spots, but he'll give you dependable, physical football that keeps your quarterback upright and your run game on schedule. That's the kind of foundational piece teams build their offensive line around, and why Pregnon will be a valuable addition to whichever franchise selects him.

    He is #1 on my wish list but unfortunately I believe you are correct.
