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

I'm not sure. I'd probably sign him but would still go after a RT. Heck he can play RT and we would still have someone to fill in if he's tired or gets hurt. Heyer or Hicks is not the answer.

If Brown can stay healthy then I'd be good with that, problem is he was injured with the Saints and after we pick him up only played a few games and gets injured. If nothing else we need a bonified back up who will be looking to start at some point. Whats Browns age?

But if the team wanted to go Center then RT I'd be good with that also. I have been a fan of picking skill position players in the past and it has gotten us very little. I'm trying something different in saying we need to build from the inside out. Build up the OL and give DM time to throw the ball or make a hole for the RB. Maybe then this team will be better.

He's not 100% recovered from the hip injury he had with the Saints, I think we knew that it would be an ongoing issue this year, but next year he should be back to full speed.

If he seems healthy and our crack pot voodoo doctors can keep him healthy then maybe go after a late round RT.

Someone said they liked the OL after it was all changed up in the Titans game. I'd go back to that for the rest of the games and see if the players are worth keeping in those positions. Perhaps Heyer is better at RG. Montgomery seemed better then Rabach. If that OL works out then simply draft for highest need.

I'm still going to say you don't go after BPA all the time. What if the BPA is a QB? and we have other needs. I take BPA at the position we have need for.
