Different Season, Same Trap

Yeah, and if that is true then is that necessarily a good thing? Having a 4th and 5th round draft pick starting on your line.

The only reason Heyer is even spoken of in terms of our line is because our depth was so poor that we had to resort to using him, an undrafted rookie, during his first 3 years in the NFL. It's not like his skill appointed him to our starting lineup.

Rinehart was selected in the 3rd and isn't even being spoken of in terms of our projected lineup this year. Our starting OL will not be found in our depleted draft selections this year.


It will take more than a year to repair our OL, probably more to improve it.
