We had a lot of picks here. I think maybe 5 picks. One could have been O Line.
I wouldn't trade Willis or Lawson for an O-lineman.
At this point, I don't see a 5th round guy coming in and making an impact over the young guys we've taken the last few years.
It sounds like Redmond and Westerman have made some progress. If you are looking for young guys to step up, those two have a better chance then a 5th rounder this year that would have just sat the bench (like those guys did)
