Morris fixes a pretty big hole caused by Helus injury/desire to use him as a change of pace back anyway.

The 2012 draft looks pretty good right now as does the 2011 draft. The key will be replicating that w/o the benefit of first round picks. Getting Morris and Griffin in the same draft will look good long term, especially if someone else from this class pans out.

I wonder who, if any of them, have the best chance of that. I am hopeful that both Geddis and LeRibeus develop into starters on the line. I can see that taking a couple years though. Robinson ... I don't know, never felt good about that one. Bernstien I liked and wish was around but c'est le vie. Crawford, I think is has a low ceiling and may never develop into more than an adequate slot corner.

Robinson and Riley are your starting inside linebackers of the future.

I'm surprised, shocked, stunned that LeRibeus isn't starting yet. That's more a testament to the season Montgomery is having though

LeRibeus is strictly depth. Supposedly Chris Chester is having a great year according to PFF and same with Montgomery. So it would be down to Lichtensteiger for LeRibeus to fill in for..guess we can't have him in for polumbus

I think Chester is having a good year. If you're on the oline and you're never getting your name called, you gotta be playing solid. Only lineman who get their names called are ones getting penalized or destroying a defensive guy.

Or completely blowing blocks, a la Polumbus.

It'd be nice if one of the linemen eventually works out.
