I have to say I am impressed with the Front office. There where many ways this could have been done and this is about as good as I could have imagined. I never thought overhauling 4 was realistic as they invested some picks last year and I assume they will add with more picks this year, to fill out the 5th spot and depth. Maybe I’m wrong and they still take care of that, but none the less… impressive job and kudos to all involved.
Getting a top 15 gaurd, an upgrade at center that can play multiple positions and arguably a top 5 RT.
Don’t be surprised to see a top 12 OL next year, and continue to get better as the season goes on.
I know they (the front office) are still not done, but so far… this is what everyone wanted and I think the urgency by the team meets the fan expectations.
Also, hurst was a nice pickup to replace CJ, don’t be surprised if he exceeds everything CJ did last year.
Who dey.
Yes, this is the day I was waiting for. I didn't expect them to ignore the OL like others but I could of seen things going a
little wrong after the year we just had. We were ahead of schedule and made it to the big game in spite of having a bad
Offensive Line. Now this shouldn't be a problem barring injuries like crazy. We got Pollack's glass eaters in Cappa, Karras
and Collins and we can draft openly and keep improving across the board on a team that was arguably the best.
Good luck stopping Burrow with an OL that can block, these weapons and Mixon having holes to run through with a D
that is physical and intimidating and doesn't allow Offenses to score much.
