I hope that our front office doesn't see this and decide "ok, job's done" and stops trying to improve the line because that seems like a Mike Brown move and I pray he's involved as little as is rumored.

Do you think our line could be a strength next season (or at least not a glaring weakness)?

X and Spain at one G spot should be OK. A monster CFB Playoff veteran true junior T is plugging in at the other G spot. And the root of our OL problems is replaced by a solid-ass veteran Reiff who won't have free runners coming at our QBs face every few plays.

And the biggest sleeper of the whole draft might be the true junior smart tank C from the heart of the SEC that we picked up.

Don't see how the chiefs would be below the chargers, top guard in free agency and traded for a quality LT to improve an area which was an obvious weak spot and attacked it like one. Bengals line has more health care issues than Obamacare.

The question will be injuries. Who is the backup swing tackle? Fred Johnson or Hakeem Adeniji? D'Ante Smith most likely won't be ready to take any significant amount of snaps in his first year. Adding Trey Hill makes me feel a little better about the interior depth with Xavier Su'a-Filo and Hakeem Adeniji.

How many Offensive Linemen will they carry? 9 or 10? That will be very important to who they keep.

Spain and XSF are bottom tier starters more suited to swing/backup duty.  

Carman is unproven, but hopefully represents an immediate upgrade at RG.

The backups are either very young, terrible, or both (Jordan)
