Are you advocating that we take XSF even if Martin is available, or to take him if Martin is gone? I definitely like him too, just not sure if we should take him over Martin if he is there.
Martin will be gone long before we get to pick.
To be fair, I've always liked solid guard play especially with the athleticism of DTs these days. They can double team with a tackle, pull on a screen, power forward in 3rd and short, and help punch in at the goal line. It's a versatile position and having talent there would be real nice.
Some say he will, and some say he won't. What if he isn't, then what? You take Martin or XSF? Just curious.
Edit:
For those who may think that taking XSF ahead of Martin as incomprehensible need look no further than Matt Smith's mock draft at NFL.com. He has us taking XSF and then the Cardinals taking Martin.

I'd take Martin no doubt about it, Martin would also be a strong long term LG but also could play RT day 1
However I'm working on the assumption that he goes at 12 to the giants and if that doesn't happen I'd be shocked if he gets past the steelers and ravens
not me. martin can play RT, but, as mayock (and many others) have stated, would likely be a perennial pro bowler at OG.

I am leaning towards Martin over XSF, too, but only because he may be able to play RT. For what it is worth, Mayock said that as an OG he would rate Martin higher than XSF.
I wonder if there is anyone here at FH who would take XSF over Martin? If so, why?

Agreed. With more teams lining up in spread formation, the D has countered by more A Gap blitzes. Hence, OG's are becoming more important.
19 is a little early for XSF.
I'd like to see Miami trade down, but, it may not be feasible. The best option may be if SF gets antsy for a WR or CB and wants to trade.
I keep seeing mocks where the donkeys draft XSF @ 31.
p.s. I like XSF @ 19 more than Moses or Mosely.
