What Pollack wants in OL

Just the 17 game season has for all teams. But then you add 3-4 in the playoffs. Protecting Burrow isn’t just about 5 starters it’s the whole group. It’s why I think they keep Hopkins, Reiff, and Spain. Next year is different. I can see them wanting to stay at reduced amounts for 1 year. I can see 2 starters from FA and one possibly from the draft.

You can't really say it has changed, because we haven't seen evidence of that yet.
We'll get a sense of how much it may have changed once we see FA and the draft play out.
There aren't many OL in this draft class I'd be confident in starting Week 1 and playing well.
Evan Neal
Ickey Ekwonu
Charles Cross
Tyler Linderbaum
Kenyon Green
Zion Johnson


I think maybe only 1-2 of those guys are there at 31, that's it. None I don't think will be there at 63.
I think Trevor Penning also might be able to start Week 1, but I have my hesitations with him coming from Northern Iowa.
