The line is quite offensive right now

[MTK]

Fingers crossed that Levi Jones can prove to be a good stop gap LT that can be a solid starter for 2-3 years at the least. We should know by the end of the year whether LT is a need or not. Dockery will likely be back at LG and I don't have a problem with that.

So that leaves center and the right side of the line. Is it possible to get 3 new starters in here or am I dreaming?

If we spend a 1st on an OT, I would think he'd eventually be moved to LT, but yeah if Levi could hold that down in the meantime it would certainly make rebuilding easier.

I think 3 new starters is realistic, 1 in fa & 2 in the draft, assuming that high picks are used for o line. I just wonder if they won't use the 1st or 2nd on a rb. I would love to see CJ Spiller in b & g, but would hate to see him taken in the 1st.

Wow I was thinking same on CJ Spiller. Man maybe get him in the 3rd or 4th not sure he last that he would last that long. We have to draft O-Line because we can not run or pass protect with this group now.

I think that with a good RT we'll be okay with Rinehart or possibly Williams. If Jones can handle LT, Dock comes back, I see the 2 biggest needs at C and RT.

I think out of last year's draft only Mack and the kid in Buffalo have started at C.. Luigs has gotten some play though, but for the most part other than 1st round C's, you don't see a lot of rookies starting. That means we've gotta find what we want in Edwin Williams or find someone that can hold it down for at least a couple of years similar to what we'll need Levi Jones for. I think this year would be the one to pick the best tackle at under the assumption that he's starting at RT, if not LT. LT might actually be advantageous since he'd be working with a decent G in Dockery, unless we can find something similar at RG to compliment whoever it was.

But yeah, we NEED 2, 3 would be very nice.
