I'm not confident in a 5th rounder coached by PA. At RT, I guess one of those guys could step up, but I'd prefer a better veteran than Winston.
The more I think about what the 2017 line will look like, the more depressed I get.
- a top of the line, but aging LT who will be 36 in December.
- Our most stable piece is Clint "Boiling".
- Possibly the worst C in football.
- A giant hole at RG.
- Another possible giant hole at RT/hoping that Ogbuehi or Fisher will develop.
So the left side is ok (for now), while the rest of the line is a gutted mess filled with failed prospects.
I'm there with you on all of this. Mangold has 11 years of wear and tear on his body and only played in 8 games last year. He missed games in 2 clumps too...not just 8 games at once.
The line is going to be an issue. I'm happy if they keep Whitworth...but at his age, the line is looking at basically a total rebuild. Even with Whitworth...they'll need to address the 2 positions you listed.
