Absolutely SS, I think Buges and Blache will be able to work with the later round picks...I mean we have good examples from the past in which both the D-line (Golston, Wilson, Montgomery) and the O-line (Heyer) got good some good performances out of players pick in the late rounds.
The team can now use the rest of the picks to (hopefully) acquire some young players that can add depth to both lines. Also I'd like to see them pick up a DB if possible.
I can also see Buges picking up a kid like Andrew Crummey from UMD as an undrafted free agent and turn him into a decent back up. I also would like to see a good final year out of our current o-line, hopefully without any injuries and some young back ups we can be set.
