Just think about it. We have little else behind Fisher and Stephenson, Allen sucks, RG is unsettled, and Martin can fit into any of those positions to become Andy Reid's next Evan Mathis. Both Reid and Dorsey love versatility in their OL players. It's too good to be true for them if Martin falls to 23.

Reid loved Danny Watkins for the same reasons.
And Martin gives us a guard replacement. If Fisher or Stephenson go down, do you REALLY want him stepping in at tackle? I mean, Jeff Allen would have been in the exact same position to step in at tackle if need be, only one year removed from being the starting LT all three years in college. But we never even considered him as a swing option for guard or tackle.
I'm fine with versatility from our backups. That's just fine and dandy. But I don't want our starting guard shifting over in the middle of a game and bringing up the backup to fill his spot. That makes ZERO sense. You've basically got TWO backups filling in instead of one in that case. Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb.
**** Zach Martin. **** Su'a Filo. **** Chance Warmack. **** David DeCastro. **** Mike Iupati.
**** drafting guards in the first round. Ever.
