Fairchild gets his feet wet and if Patrick can stay healthy we could be much better by midseason and better than last year where we were one
of if not THE worst IOL in the NFL.
I agree with you for the most part but I think we were 32 but I can't honestly slot green Fairchild and fringe level Patrick at 27 today. Even if we justify that our depth is sort of more proven than other teams (Volson, Ford, Lee) but can someone make a case for 5 teams worse that us?
Other teams have hope for their rookies, have guys getting healthy, trust their coaching staff, we aren't unique. I'm doing my best to check my bias on this position group stopping us from a SB win, but I can't move from being bitter at the FO all the way to seeing what they never fixed as being the 27th best IOL in the league.
