Nobody's drafting a guard in the top 5. He'd make as much or more in his rookie contract than the highest-paid veteran guard in the league. It's not a blue chip position (ie DE, DT, QB, RB, CB, WR). Same reason tight ends and safeties usually go mid first (although some safeties have gone as high as 6).
