I'm talking about twitter polls of 800+ fans that responded to various questions from local radio concerning OL.

Prior to the draft all the way up to preseason - most fans thought the line would be fine. 

Even after Taylor was moved, most were still confident it would be fine as long as they drafted a RT early. 

There was no undercurrent of concern about the interior until week one happened. 
Boselli and Prisco totally changed their tunes on the topic after that game too. 

We still have to wait and see what it looks like after London to really evaluate properly, but I think the percentage of fans who were concerned about it predraft was fairly low.

Those people are stupid, Our oline was weak on the interior and we didn't do anything about it. We took brenton Strange who has contributed 0 catches for 0 yards so far instead.. And Bigsby which is seemingly even more head scratching because we rarely make use of our backup RB under Doug.

Still don't understand why so many people wanted a TE so early when we had Engram.

I think any fan of this team that knows anything about football knew we needed a nickel corner and interior line help, and we ignored both until the later rounds.
