They aren't contending next year regardless of who they pick.
We would have a average OL if they get a G in round 2... on paper.
But paper doesn't play games.
While I get that people are fascinated with Madden style games and want Chase cause... we scorez all da pointz...
I don't get the magical belief that the line is fixed with a flawed prospect starting at a new spot. Unless you take Davis, Trey Smith, Ben Cleveland or Green you are moving a center or tackle to guard.
But the real mystery to me remains, why anyone believes:
Jonah will play 16 games... when he has played in only 10 in 2 years.
XSF will play a full season, hasn't done it in 3 years.
Hopkins will be the same after his ACL. He might but.. a knee injury to a center?
The odds of a Jordan sighting on the line next year are high if they wait till round 2 or 3 to address the line.
It remains simple. If the team believes the line is a real issue, they take Sewell. If they pass on Sewell they aren't concerned about the line and think 1 draft pick will be enough. Remember last season when they ignored it till late... well Tobin sees starters in round 3 so don't be surprised when round 3 hits and we finally go after a guy.
