Bowanko is probably just a great utility lineman that can fill multiple spots in a pinch.  Would love to see us get a topnotch center.  the interior of our line could end up being a real strength.

 

As far as the tackles, I dont dislike Joeckel as much as the consensus around here.  I dont think he is a top 15 LT but I dont think he is awful either.  He is just a guy.  He makes one or two whiff plays a game and then kinda holds his own the rest of the time.  Doesnt dominate, just gets in the way.  The problem is it isnt easy finding a really good or even great LT to replace him with.  We could just as easily spend a bunch of money and end up with another Parnell but this time at LT.  I wouldnt want that.  Parnell is just a guy as well.  Thats easier to hide at RT and gets a lot less scrutiny.  But a great LT... odds are you arent finding that in free agency.  If you want to seriously upgrade the position you need to do it in the draft.  And odds we are going defense early and often.
