Quote:I disagree if we can get someone like Scherff in the 1st who can play LT and swing Joeckel who's a liablity at LT inside or to the RT position we're better off all the way around. Then grab someone like Erving in the 2nd who can play Tackle and Center then you have the ability to push Bowanko at Center and if he holds the position Erving can upgrade the RT position.

 

We're absolutely not set on the offensive line and it's a huge gamble to bet these guys are going to improve on their own next season. What if they don't? what if Joeckel is still struggling? 

 

Those decisions are what David is here for, either way if he brings in more talent or lets it sit and bet on the young guys developing it's on him.

 

Personally I know I wouldn't bet on that group getting better in the offseason, they are who they are and the depth isn't there at all. Sam Young is not a viable option. 

Scherff is no less of a gamble than drafting Joekel was. There is no guarantee that he can make the transition to the pros. For all we know, he could struggle more than Joekel.

 

The oline will be much better off with veterans. Year in and year out the oline generally has the most players in free agency because they are the most numerous starting position on the football field.
