The line may have four new starters (Spain, Reiter, Carman, Reiff). And in that case every one is a pretty considerable upgrade. We also don't have Turner coaching anymore. The key will be how long it takes all the new pieces to gel. Also the entire depth chart has been revised courtesy of us picking three OL in the draft. Our first Guard off the bench is now XSF who is an effective Guard. Johnson is the first Tackle off the bench and currently Hill the backup Center (if we sign Reiter than it's Hopkins).
