Burford may benefit from playing next to Trent in the meantime. He's a talented player, just prone to mistakes. If he can clean that up, maybe he seizes that job and doesn't give it up. Good chance Banks leaves next year, so Burford and Puni may be our starting OGs. I'm fine to make that transition now if Burford plays well.
I posted this elsewhere but I'll say it here as well. Just read this morning that Burford said he was much more comfortable playing LG which is his natural spot dating back to college. A few observers also mentioned how solid he looked at LG. Time will tell if he can maintain that but like you said if Banks leaves after this season, Burford may get the job...I don't see us re-signing Banks considering we need to pay Brock and one of our corners. Letting both corners walk would be very tough to replace. Keep Lenoir, we drafted and developed him and he's younger than Mooney.
