Your Ideal O-line Scenario

My personal ideal scenario would look something like this:


Release Collins now and save the 4.8m.

Sign Jermaine Eluemunor to start at RT.
Sign Fleming or Beachum as the swing tackle.
Sign Wes Schweitzer. He can play all 3 interior spots, has starting experience and and has usually been solid in the run and pass game, even though he had a down year this past season in Washington. A solid depth piece and insurance policy if you can get him in the 2.5-3m range. 

Draft Anton Harrison if he's still there at 28. He doesn't need to start this year, but can if needed at either T spot. 

Williams
Volson
Karras
Cappa
Eluemunor

Harrison
Fleming or Beachum
Schweitzer
Carman

This scenario revamps the line as a whole for about 6m this year, when you deduct the Collins savings...adding a RT who can also play both G spots, a competent veteran swing tackle, an interior lineman who can play 3 spots and the LT of the future who can start this year if needed. Upgrades the depth, versatility and provides insurance at every position. And you can still keep Carman around just in case. 

I would be elated if they come close to something like this.

I'm fully onboard releasing Collins. It would basically be a miracle for him to return and be anything close to good. I highly doubt they're going to cut Williams. I'm just hoping he can shake off last years issues.

Carman I'm good with for depth but beyond him we don't have much. They have to sign a couple good Olinemen in free agency and draft a couple as well. I'm also hoping they go Oline at 28, Harrison would be sweet.

Bottom line you can throw all the other BS out the window if we don't fix the Oline.
