Time to Build an Offensive Line

[over the mountain]

draft a tackle with the 2nd round pick (SS's players sounded good)

draft a OT/G in the 4th round

sign OT tony pashos - we've been linked to him, our new o line coach is from SF. i dont believe he is guaranteed a starting job in SF but he wants one. i dont know much about this guy, player/skill wise thoo.

sign one of the broncos O lineman - with the broncos switching to power running football they might be parting with their zone blocking guys. hopefully shanny can pluck atleast 1 guy he likes from there,that player would be familiar with our new system, etc.

sign rabach to a 2 year deal if we cant find a better replacement in FA.

randy thomas is coming back imo, and the man is a beast. i do worry that he has slowed down a good bit the past few years and wont be the ideal fit for a speed zone blocking scheme but i like randy alot and will give him another year to prove he is still a top guard.

samuels has not retired yet, we will hear soon enough when he gets re-evaluated this month

resign mike williams to vet min.; if not resign levi jones to 1 year incentive based contract.

LT - samuels, pashos, our 2nd round OT
LG - dockery, broncos guard, 4th round G pick
C - rabach, edwin williams, ?
RG - thomas, rineheart, 4th round G pick
RT - pashos, 2nd round OT, heyer

if samuels does retire, i think we have to re-sign levi.

i think this scenario is very achievable. of course, this only works if tony pashos is an upgrade over heyer, m williams and levi jones.
