Yeah I just don’t understand the common thought here that there is going to be some major OL shift or we need to dedicate premium resources to the position.
We could use a LG, but I certainly don’t see us using a high draft pick on one. I could see us using “solid starter” type dollars on one but certainly not a top 10 first round pick.
We currently have three first round picks and an all-pro second round pick starting. At some point, your guys are your guys.
Dedicating yet another premium selection to fill a OL hole seems foolish to me at this stage.
This will be our OL in 2025 IMO…

It’s up to the coaching staff to make this group work. Add some depth in the middle rounds or with a free agent or two of Lucas Patrick’s ilk. Patrick wasn’t exactly terrible last year either, btw. If he’s healthy, at a minimal we should bring him back as very good C/G and leadership depth.
