Based on this season he's not wrong though. The LT position has seen better days. And now Parnell is nicked up at RT. This entire offensive line could use more depth and better overall quality in general. I caught a ton of [BLEEP] last year for not liking the contract extension on Brandon Linder because of the fact that he's never played a full season for us. 

Here it is for the 5th straight year in a row that he's either missed a handful of games or has finished on IR. The highest paid Center in the NFL shouldn't be the highest paid Center in the NFL if he can't stay out on the football field. He's not Bruce Matthews. He's not Kevin Mawae. Hell, he's not even Brad Meester. I never liked that extension. 

But. What good is a #1 WR going to do this team in 2019 when:

A. No time in the pocket to throw it now as it stands. So far it looks like Kessler is just a smaller version of Bortles running for his life out there like a chicken with it's head cut off and just too gun shy to take too many chances with the football. 

B. Who is the starting QB in 2019? Is it going to be Flacco? Manning? Mullens? A rookie? A lot of concern there already in 2018. And now you have that as a huge question mark going into 2019. What good is a #1 WR if you can't protect your investment's blindside? 

C. Linder, Norwell, Robinson & Parnell are all coming back next year off of injuries. Just makes it that much harder to develop chemistry and consistency. Adding a solid swing OT into the fold could save us a lot of trouble down the road. This thread is proof that we should have considered the offensive line A LOT more back in April of this year's draft. 

D. Lee will be back. Sefarian-Jenkins will be back. Westbrook should have another good year of experience under his belt to roll into 2019. Chark will hopefully have the rookie jitters shaken off going into next year's training camp. And we still might be able to pull some more talent at WR through free agency.
