With Linder out, is Cann our best lineman at this point? He has improved a good bit thoughout the year. Next year both guard spots will be upgraded when Liner is back. Thoughts? Behind Linder who is our best lineman?
Linder
Cann
Joeckel
Wiz/Parnell
Beadles
In that order.
I have a feeling 2 starters on the line next year aren't currently on the roster.
Center and LT?

Beadles gets replaced, Wiz definitely gets replaced, and I think Parnell should be upgraded. Jermey is exactly what he was in Dallas, a great backup that can give you solid play if someone gets hurt. He can't do it for 16 games though.

I'd say C for sure. The rest is think are here

Center and LG. Find it hard to believe we cannot upgrade those 2 positions in FA and draft.
I don't want to hear any of the "it takes time to gel" crap either because those 2 guys just suck, lol.

I'd put Parnell above Joeckel.

Why not put Cann and Linder at LG/RG?

This is exactly what they're going to do. Cann is solid.

Center is the only spot that will be replaced. Cann and Linder are you guards.

Wouldn't that be replacing Beadles at G?

You can do that, but you'd be wrong.

Yes but you said they aren't on the roster yet.

Semantics Schmantics!
Definitely need to upgrade the center position. Makes me realize just how good Brad Meetser was.

You said "Find it hard to believe we cannot upgrade those 2 positions in FA and draft". We wouldn't be upgrading two positions via FA and draft, just center.
I'd put Linder in at LG and leave Cann over at RG. Linder is a much better player than Beadles and I think it'll help Joeckel develop being next to a player like Linder.
Do we draft a center or sign one in free agency?

I think we get Mack if we can.
