Would it be practical to just (mostly) draft o-line this upcoming year

This team needs 3 full years of solid drafting.

The draft is a crap shoot but often times a 1st / 2nd round draft picks can and should have immediate impact.
The 3rd round pick and 4th round picks are less likely to have an immediate impact although this would be a place where you can still find decent interior OL

With the 1st 3 rounds i would try to land at least 1 OL and 1 DL:
maybe take a 3-4 DE in the 1st round then take a RT and Center in the 2nd/3rd

Umm, I thought our draft looked like this...
1,2,5,6,7

#3 and #4 have been given away... to Philli for McNabb and N.O. for Brown. When did we pick up another 3rd?

Correct me if I'm wrong but currently I think we have:
1 - 2 - 5 - 2/6th - 2/7th

No, you're right i forgot about those.

Then in that case i would look to trade down but if we can't

1st round BPA DL or OL or LOLB

2nd round BPA opposite position side of the ball as 1st round pick

Yes, too many holes to fill in one or two years. It's going to take 3 full seasons + of good wise drafts and FA.

Yes, I would say if things match up well, if there's a offensive lineman available in the 1st we should take him. Or, if the best center - don't know who that is- is available at 2 we should take him.

MS knows, hell everyone knows our oline is horrible.
