We need offensive lineman. Period.

Cam Robinson - Overpaid, oft injured and average at best when out there.
Ben Bartch - Average at best, coming back from IR.
Luke Fortner - Played a full season, plus two play off games. Needs to get significantly stronger this summer and faster post-snap. 
Brandon Scherff - Injury prone, over the hill in NFL age for this position, stop gap at best for another year. 
JaWaan Taylor - One trick pony coming off of one good year that will command an overpriced contract that could come back to bite your team in the [BLEEP] down the road. Like Cam Robinson. 

I will go on record saying this. Especially now that WE HAVE A [BLEEP] QUARTERBACK. We need to be drafting two, quality offensive lineman EVERY year. EVERY year. Doesn't mean you drop 1st and 2nd and 3rd RD picks on these positions every year but you need to keep the depth quality above average and you need to be able to backfill these roles in a pinch. 

That way you can continue to either swing for the fences early at the skill positions that have to make the plays on both sides or land the big name FA player that can add 2, 3 more win totals to your stat sheet or clutch a win in the play-offs.

I totally agree with this assessment.

I think we will draft a couple of offensive lineman and see what's what with them.First pick though in terms of the draft I think needs to be a corner and it seems like a pretty decent draft depth wise for CB so should be fine with whoever drops to us.

The first pick definitely doesn't NEED to be a corner. I'd prefer a lineman if we can get one of the top ones.

Our first pick needs to be a good player. I don't care about the position, as long as he helps this team get better. We need to stop reaching for players of need and concentrate on upgrading the roster as a whole. Other than QB and Punter, there isn't a position on this team that couldn't be upgraded.
