Ogbuehi will be a mystery that's for sure.

Eatonfan: Depth wise, it's got to be linebacker, safety, and wide receiver. Not necessarily in that order, but they need it.

As for signing priority -- that's become interesting. I don't think they want to pay Iloka what the market will wind up paying him. But then Nelson is a UFA, too -- so they could get put in a really bad box at the end of the season. Iloka has left the door open to re-sign before he hits the open market, but they won't take a discount. Not now.

Zeitler is interesting. No way they want to make him the highest paid guard in the league next year - but I think they want to see him do for a full 16+ games. It's a luxury they have with him.

Ogbuehi seems more built for pass protection more so than run blocking.  I'm interested in his blocking in space too.  I just don't see him making all that big of an impact this year.  More likely they'll ease him into the OT role along with Fisher at guard.  I just don't see them signing both Whitworth and Smith.  One of them, but not both.

The same for Nelson and Iloka.  One of them.  Williams seems to be the heir apparent.
