Hopefully Long can step in for Chester and improve the unit.
Would love to have Iupati, but we would be better off spending the money on a higher impact position:
CB, pass rusher, DT.
Even a top tier safety or TE would have more impact than a top tier G.

I don't care about Iupati either way -- but to your point -- getting a 7th round pick & 2 undrafted FA to start on your Oline really just means:
(A) you can develop players
(B) your QB gets rid of the ball fast,
(C) you are just really lucky.
Since we have none of the above AND we've tried & failed with low draft picks (remember Gettis? Hurt? Capers? Cook?) -- I'd suggest we finally develop or invest in O-line AND get blocking TE/RBs. I trust McLoughan.
I think every QB does much better with protection, but I'd wager Griffin could still be a top 10 QB if he had a great Oline.
