Anyone interested in signing Casey Wiegmann?

Yes.
Rabach is a UFA and Wiegmann imo represents an upgrade because of both ability and knowledge of scheme.

He could man the spot until our current centers (Edwin Williams and Lichtensteiger) are ready to take over.

I could agree with fringe starter.
I guess i'm alone in thinking that because he played injured for the beter part of last year and that at 25 years old he could improve from a fringe starter to a decent starter.

I wonder who would be a better RT/LT next year the 6th/7th/8th ranked OT like Ducasse, Brown or Veldeer(sp?) or a healthy Heyer?

We'd be better off with Stephon Heyer at RT than with Levi Jones at LT, but only marginally.

I agree that an injured Heyer is marginally better the Levi Jones.

The larger point that if we ever have to see Stephon Heyer at LT with Mike Williams at RT again, it's time to give up hope.

^^That scares the beejesus out of me and its why i think we should take an OT or trade down and get an OT in in the 1st round.
