With Hurst gone we need to consider drafting soime interior linemen at 45 and in later rounds too.

So basically everyone knows they've got Loomis by the balls in the draft when he calls trying to trade up to get an OT.
Neato.

Is Hurst really a huge loss?
Really every position on the line except center could use addressing. Ruiz is serviceable at RG but that's it. Both tackles and LG are empty at the moment lol.Assuming this is accurate, it's almost funny how much we need guys on the offensive line. Hurst hasn't been good for a year or two, but we just need bodies at this point.
This. When you have next to nothing to begin with, losing any of what little you do have is a loss.Could be addition by subtraction, but it will mean that we need Saldiveri to step up as a starter this year or draft a starting Guard. That and we just have a lack of bodies on the OL.
I've been saying from the jump that I'd not mind if 14 and 45 are both linemen.We were taking a tackle at 14 anyway... what this does is puts a lineman in play for our 2nd round pick.

Agree, it's been the case all offseason. I've been enamored with some of the skill guys in round one like other posters here, but I also see the huge void we have up front that needs to be addressed. Kubiak and Carr won't be successful without an improvement in OL play.Really every position on the line except center could use addressing. Ruiz is serviceable at RG but that's it. Both tackles and LG are empty at the moment lol.
Enjoy retirement James.
So just based on the timing... The team likely told him he wasn't being brought back very recently... Which means they have a plan in place via hand shake deals with FA Lineman after the draft should they not be able to draft a potential starter at 14 or 45 (or both)... Which I think has been the plan all along... so this doesn't change much IMO.
