Drafting is a crap shoot and is probably not the direction we should take when there are some proven good free agents available that could help us for sure right now. None of these free agents are elite but we could dramatically improve the O-line over what we have.
At center you have Ben Jones and Ryan Jensen
At right guard you have Mark Glowinski and Austin Corbett
At right tackle you have Trent Brown and Morgan Moses
At left guard you have Conner Williams, Laken Tomlinson and James Daniels (who can also play center)
All of these guys would get between 6 million to 12 million a year and would be upgrades over what we currently have. We have enough cap money to sign all 4 positions and be well under the cap plus you save some money not needing to pay Hopkins, Spain or Reiff. There is no reason we shouldnt go after these guys in free agency. They are proven, they wouldnt bust the cap and we would have a much better O-line
