Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but I think solidifying the interior plays better to Burrow's strength of avoiding the outside rushers.
I agree. I've always felt like it made the most sense to build a line from the inside first and work outward. I get that in the modern game, so much emphasis is on edge rushers and protectors, but it seemed to me that right up the middle is where most teams penetrated to get after Burrow this season. Not to mention putting a little backbone in the rushing attack would go miles toward keeping Burrow healthy and sharp.
RT is a serious need still, but like you said, there are many avenues toward finding the right fit at that position.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
