The key phrase in your summary is "can play".  We know in a pinch they "can" but what is our standard?  I agree that they should look at a Risner type or one of the Saints FA still out there.  They do like Ford and do hope JC will improve but they have $ to spend even after the roll over and should know more about extensions by camp.  Look for them to be ready with some guaranteed money if they don't like the subs they have around cuts. 

If looking for someone who can play C, Connor Williams is still out there.
I don't think at this point though with Karras as the established C and drafting Matt Lee that bringing in another C is gonna be a thing.
I think the team feels better about the OL than some/most of the fans do.
