What draft pick would you have changed for Oline?

The current unit is playing sink or swim. If they falter they'll go with the same fallback of Andre RT, Fisher LT, Westerman RG, etc... a guy like Sharpe would have been groomed in practice and sat and watched a guy like Winston play instead.  Next year they can draft one higher in a better class or actually sign one.  We need to think about how much of an impact a 4th rounder was going to make. 

Ironic, because Westerman is a 5th rounder who has not played any snaps in the NFL.

I never understood why people were so high on Westerman. Sure. I think he could do well. But he's done nothing. He could be downright terrible. Or he could be amazing. The fact is, he's a 5th rounder, so it's not far-fetched to think a 4th rounder would be better and have more impact than him.
