It's a little different when you want to sling the ball all over the yard and don't know what your defense/run game are going to look like imo. Not saying that Fairchild and Patrick/Ford can't do it. It just seems like a massive gamble. I don't see why they shouldn't be sniffing around for players like Scherff or Rinser. You're clicking your heels if you have guys like Patrick, Volson, and Ford...as backups. In the midst of a Super Bowl window why put so much pressure on guys who have no record of being consistent, good starters?

Well then i guess the Ravens are gambling also, in the end it is hard to keep a solid Oline across the board with injuries , free agents, miss draft picks and priorities. We have with Burrows blessing prioritized skilled players in our offense a bit more than the line, we did not have alot in the pot to go after the top guards in FA, so we drafted a guard early and when with a guard who has performed well over past two years in Patrick.  If Fairchild does work out then you should have a decent to good line in 4 of your positions which is probably norm or above in the NFL.
