That being said, with the current state of this team, it's imperative that we fix the O-line. I truly believe that this offense will return to being one of the best in the league with AJ, Eifert, Mixon, Gio, Ross, Boyd etc if we can actually protect the QB.
As of right now (and probably the last 3 years) Center has been a major hole on this team. Glenn and Boling will be a nice combo, but after that it's a black hole. We need to draft at least 2 interior lineman.
Great points on how we use Linebackers and you are correct about the O-line being the part that needs to be fixed on this team.
I still think that we need a RT more than a Guard as McC here speaks of...
Center has to be taken with one of our first two picks.

Heard this thought yesterday. What about Boling being moved over to RT? I tend to believe that if he can play LT that RT would
be an easy transition if we needed him to. Westerman is a natural LG/Center type. Redmond is a natural RG.
