Reiff is doing fine, but he's not a long-term solution. We still have to build up a tackle, which takes multiple seasons. Hopkins is bad. Carman looks far off from being good (I'll cut him some slack as it takes linemen years to get to where they need to be).
We're either going to have to toss a lot of money into free agency or throw a few picks at one or two spots.
Its going to make for some interesting decisions. This team can contend for championships now, so do they really want to develop linemen? Or do they spend big in FA and possibly risk losing somebody down the road?
The best choice at this point might be find a couple "value" guys in FA, which isn't something I would've wanted in the past, but I've had to adjust how I view things based on how great this team is playing right now.
Or maybe we can afford one really good lineman with the cap going up?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
