Quote:I am pretty old school when I think of the saying that 'wars are won and lost in the trenches'. It should be obvious to almost anyone that the most immediate improvement our team could have (beyond bolstering our pathetic defense) was to improve our pathetic offensive line. I would anticipate that our next draft will feature offensive linesmen for the very reasons pointed out by Bullseye.

I think our guards are okay (RG and C factoring in the move of Linder to C).  But the tackles are a major concern for me-not only the starters, but the reserves as well.

 

As much as I loved this draft, I can't help but wonder how this draft would have turned out had we managed to sign either Vernon or Ayers in free agency.  Would more attention have been given to the O-Line?

 

At this point, I don't think you'd hear any complaints from me if we drafted 2-3 tackles in the next draft.
