That is a little rich, Essex.  XSF went down very early in the season (week 1, I believe) and showed he played fairly well when he returned.  Bobby Hart is gone and Mike Jordan should be a mile away from being a starter on this line. 

You would have Jonah returning, as well as Hopkins if he is ready week 1.  I would hardly call XSF the reason the line sucked so bad in the early going last year.  You had a revolving door at RG after he went down with Fred Johnson and Alex Redmond.  Both are pretty far from starting this next year.  

In reality, the line would have the following:

LT:  Jonah in year 2
LG:  Winner of XSF/Spain competition.  An injury doesn't kill them like a year ago, and Jordan isn't being forced in to the lineup.
C:  Hopkins
RG:  Likely a developmental OT from Rd 2, or a dedicated G from Rd 3, like Ben Cleveland or Deonte Brown.  Massive upgrade here.
RT:  Riley Reiff, solid veteran and upgrade on Hart.

So, in reality, you have upgrades at three of the five spots and Frank Pollack to boot.
