We needed no upgrades as what we had would work and be an average to above average OL.  

How'd that work out for us?  

I think our biggest issue is even with adding Reiff is yes we have some decent OG, but what happens if Jonah can't stay healthy?  What happens if Reiff goes down?  I mean Jonah hasnt played a full season yet due to health.  Reiff is 33/34 yo....and the low of averages if look at the injuries on our OL the past 3-4 years i feel like we are always having 2-3 people injured per season on that line.  

As far as Hopkins, he's okay.  If he was playing somewhere else then he'd be riding the pine and being their equivalent of Billy Price.  

Hopkins doesn't really seem to jump off the page but his numbers are good, and that's with some pretty bad guys next to him. An upgrade would be welcome.

I agree about how short-sighted the FO was regarding the line last year. The only thing that's going to show they really know that it's important is to hit it twice out of their first three picks in the draft. They can't look at 'how much better' they were with Spain and XSF in there. They're ok but they need more. And they need to do that with the idea that Reiff is a one year stopgap. They still have a long way to go to imporve the line to where it needs to be.
