I stand corrected -- you are right about the March signing. But I agree that he would have been a good target. I still find it astonishing that so little effort was made to bolster the OL with a QB having JD5's injury history. Imagine him behind a really good line -- with even average skills players around him. We may never know what that looks like; it surely doesn't look like it now.
Of course, if Tunsil comes back healthy, he and Cosmi are anchors. Not sure if Conley is going to be more than average as he's been too inconsistent despite real flashes. But our LG and C situation is appalling, as is our overall O line depth. We are 3 players (at least) away from a good line -- LG, C, and a swing tackle.
I hate the fact that we end up looking toward the next season before Thanksgiving -- it seems like we do that most years.
Speaking of which, the Eagles may be tanking now, but they are going to be insane. They have now stocked picks for the next 3 years:
2027: 1st (2), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (3), 7th
2028: 1st (2), 2nd (2), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
2029: 1st, 2nd (2), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
So in 3 years, 5 1st and 5 2nd rounders. Sheesh.
Roseman is a genius -- he drafted Jordan Davis with a 1st, got 4 1/2 years (and a Superbowl) and traded for a 1st and 2nd; traded for AJ Brown for a 1st and 3rd, had 4 years (and a Superbowl), and then got back a 1st and 5th; drafted Jurgens for a 2nd, got good years out of him (and Superbowl), and then traded for a 2nd and 5th. I mean, good grief.
