Patrick hasn't played overly well for an entire season since 2021 when he played 911 snaps but 822 were at Center.
His last time playing well at Guard for a full season was 2020, when he played 939 snaps and allowed 3 sacks, 16 total pressures.
I like him for his versatility, but it's been quite a few years since he's done well as a full-time starter.

Ford has never done well as a full time starter, same with Volson.

Risner meanwhile in his entire career (87 games, 81 starts) hasn't allowed more than 4 sacks or 30 total pressures in a season.
Risner would be a safer bet for starting at one of the Guard spots than Patrick or Ford, IMO.
Happy to keep them both for versatile depth though.

My only comment is you appear to think 30 pressures in a season is a great number. I woud argue 2 a game is a lot and hardly stellar.
