Fredtoast take on the O-line issue

[samhain]

Legit assessment, Fred.

The team is in a precarious position right now. If both Whit and Z go elsewhere, they have very limited options. Ogbuehi would have to take huge steps in both technique and overall strength to be a non-disastrous option at LT right now. I think they need to give him a year to be the backup emergency swing tackle and pray they don't need him. Let him build some strength and bulk. He's already seen the speed of the pro game first hand, and knows he's overmatched. Build him up and insulate his confidence for a season and then see where he is next year if he progresses.

This is a shitty draft for offensive tackles. There are no plug and play players that can man the LT spot IMO. Not even a Tunsil or Conkiln caliber guy like last year. The guys they'll get are a lot of relatively undersized second-round talents that run a good chance of getting the same beatdown Ced did last season if they are relied on too early.

They HAVE to sign Whit if they want to have any shot at improving on offense, in my opinion.
