Blache has more to work with at this point than Buges, and if the offense doesn't progress significantly this year, look out.

I love the idea of drafting as many O-lineman as possible but by all accounts after the top 1-3 players there is a significant drop off in talent. Meaning they probably will not be starters unless a team really has no talent there. Most will need maybe a yr under their belt prior to starting. Aside from that I truly wonder if RT is drafted if they would immediatly start them. Jansen is getting old and worn down but is a good back up. Heyer was the starter last yr only cause he beat out Jansen, but if you think a rookie is going to come in and out perform a 3rd yr RT with as many starts as Heyer has and know the system and call better then Heyer I would say you might be crazy.

I could be wrong. I see Heyer as starter no matter what and if he goes down then perhaps if the rookie is better then Jansen then they would go in. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Heyer is all that just saying Heyer has 3yrs under his belt and the game should be slowing down for him because he's up to NFL speed and it would be his second yr in the same offense so he knows the play calls.
