Add a Vet Left Guard and a Vet Right Tackle. (Karras ©, Cappa (RG) and Brown (LT) have been brought in already)
Use early Draft capital (Top 3 rounds) at other positions way more often than not.
Flat out Build a Top O-line with as many Proven Veterans as possible.
If an Offensive Lineman gets Drafted early, don't Plan on him starting right away only to find out that he is a weak link.
They could still take the occasional early round Offensive line pick but not put Burrow & Team success at risk with an unproven rookie.
Or get a C, and move Karras to LG. Either way I an done with the whole “ a mediocre line is good enough” experiment. Success begins in the trenches, every time.
Go Benton Panthers!!
