I still don't understand why people think this. Dockery is younger than what we would have had with Kendall. That's about it. He represents a slight upgrade at best. And Stephon Heyer? How exactly is he "better" ?? What do you base that on? He was a nice find as an undrafted free agent, and he's a serviceable guy. But I've seen nothing to indicate these two guys make the offensive line significantly better than it was last year. It is by far our biggest question mark, and it has been ignored in the top rounds of the draft for years.

Not a homer pick, but a "gut check pick" ?? Uh-huh.
