The problem is the lack OL talent on the team. We need to address the OL now. I have no problem with taking Chase first if at least the 2nd and 3rd pick are on OL. At best, our starters are an average OL. Our back ups are absolutely terrible and we're only 1 injury away from them protecting the franchise.

Wow - watched his tape and interviews.....his injury history is just too much to swallow potentially, but I love the guys play, attitude, intelligence, personality, etc.  He's big nasty and loves to put people on the ground.

But damn....the injury history.

and go back to OL in the 4th. Say Creed Humphrey, Milton Williams and Spencer Brown or something alike.

Just referencing TJ528's post. Think we will extend him if he plays well.

Do you think they're going to give a 10+M multi year contract to someone 34yo+ if they didn't give it to Whit?  I mean if Reiff has a good year I'm all for it but we all know how this franchise operates.  We thought they'd open the wallet for an interior OL guy this off season...nope still thinking like they didn't 10 years ago with Steinbach and Zeitler.
