If they pour the money into the OL with two quality starters and maybe a quality backup to compete with the youth, you'll have other needs. The plan is to never draft solely on need, but if the money goes to OL they probably have to use a high pick at CB and DT. If the right player falls so be it but I can't stand these offseason depth charts with a rookie pick listed as a starter.
True, we need proven veterans in front of our young guys so they can develop. Personally after watching Spain in the Playoffs and
the Superbowl I want somebody else at LG, if it is Carman so be it but I think we can add at least 3 good OL and change the entire
look of the OL while developing our younger players. This opens up the Draft for whatever at 31 if we don't trade the pick away for
a proven OL before the Draft which could happen and I would be fine with it.
Whatever it takes to protect Burrow and open up holes in the running game.
We will see how FA goes but I am with you in not wanting any rookies out there come opening day especially at RT.
