Now draft for Oline, get Oline in FA, and within a year, you could have a stellar unit, while fixing defensive holes at the same time, because at least for now, your oline can at least compete against Div 1A NCAA teams instead of the NAIA shit we've trotted out there for 2 years.  If you don't get a QB to groom this season, you have a couple years to do so, or get one early to compete day 1 while being competitive.

Of course, Mike Clown still lives, and Mediocre Merv gon' mediocre.......but there for a minute, you could almost see a real football organization on the horizon.

I'd like to move Boling back to G, but he appears to be the best LT on the roster. If the team goes with the status quo approach to free agency, just leave Boling at LT, Redmond at LG, Westerman at C and then go draft pick at RG and RT.

Who knows how things are going to shake out though. I'm trying to stifle my excitement right now, but moving on from Alexander the Great is huge news. I almost feel like if Marvin can talk Mike Brown into moving on from Alexander the Great, he may be able to talk him in to some other good things as well. Like I said though, I ALMOST feel it's possible.
