Now we decided that Carman + Shelvin + Smith was better than Jenkins/Eichenberg/Little.  We shall see.

Shows that our FO tried to address the Oline, but missed hugely.  Amazing how Ragnow is better than 2 Oline pieces.  Quality trumps quantity.  I felt sick missing on Ragnow, but this trade down for Carman I am okay with.
