Who should we go for in Free Agency?

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.
