We have no depth on offense

Zero.  Tretter will be looking to start, and they're likely done with high priced OL in FA.  They have several young OL from last year, plus the draft this year.

I know people like to bag on all of our rookies from last year, but they've got an entire year under their belts, have gotten healthy, more time to learn what Pollack hsa to teach and most importantly, we have brought in three solid veteran's who have played at a high level in the NFL, who can show the young guys how it's supposed to be done.  Pollack can preach technique and how to DO  IT all he likes, but having savvy veterans to make the OL room better cannot be overlooked.  Think how much our OL missed Whit when he left.  It wasn't just what he brought to LT position, but what he brought to the whole line in terms of study, discipline, making OL calls with the QB to cover blitzs, etc.  We haven't had that presence in years.  I'm expecting at least one of the new guys to be the leader of the line (not sure which).  This again will make the whole OL room better.  They will work as a team, which makes switching one out less painful and less impactful.  As an aside, I think the same veteran presence will lead Jonah to his best year as a pro.  That veteran influence will bring out his best.
