I agree I feel pass rushing DE is much more important than guard.

Andrew Luck would beg to differ

Like Ballard said this is a team, not just Luck. Clearly, a lot needs to be done to protect him better, but a better D that pressures the other QB takes some pressure off Luck.

Andrew can also speak from experience how impactful a pass rush can be.

Have to be able to protect a lead at LOS. Can’t do that without a pass rush. Late-Manning Colts consistently won with an average to bad o-line. They won because Manning got a lead and they had pass rushers to put teams away.

Below is barring injury, which no one can predict.

If the guard is in your mind a sure fire perennial all pro, and a likely HOF player, and the DE is at the level of a few Pro Bowls and a fringe HOF candidate, which one do you take?

A fringe HOF pass rusher and it's not even close.

Yep. Especially if we are talking about a LG
