But if that one legit lineman raises the level of play of those around him and helps teach your draft picks, I think he pushes the needle further. He’ll make everyone else’s jobs easier on the line and in effect make those around him better. Plus, we have tried this C+ to B strategy in the past and we just keep ending up with a terrible offensive line. Just my two cents.

I also am not convinced there is a great olineman available at the bottom of the 1st round. NFL.com has us taking a DT. We need to fix the line in free agency so we aren’t reaching with our picks. Who knows how the draft will fall. Need to be able to pick BPA. Plus, it’s not like we aren’t trying to fix the oline through the draft. It’s not working and our draft position isn’t good to boot.

Dennis Roland played next to Bobbie Williams.
Nate Livings played next to Andrew Whitworth.
Cedric Ogbuehi played next to Kevin Zeitler.

They were all still three problems. They need to add 4 upgrades on the OL. One guy gets you nowhere other than 2020 and 2021 all over again.

I don't think anyone is arguing for a bunch of C+ guys, are they? Because I haven't seen anyone mention getting a bunch of XSFs.
