We've got a decent start there, keep the momentum going and get it fixed. I think with Dunlap/Lawson/Willis/and even MJ, we have the personnel to get it done for one more year. We GOTTA fix that o line.
Yeah, might as well keep MJ around for one more year just to get through. He wasn't terrible last year but he wasn't
nearly as good against the run as he has been and is just not a pass rushing End. MJ's contract just needs to be
restructured.

We lost Chris Smith and we could be losing MJ (Holland would be cheaper).
All for an End like this in the 3rd or 4th...

I would just prefer to avoid Dunlap testing FA and most definately Geno...

The picks we make for OL pretty much have to be sure-fire can't miss prospects. No room for projects. Worst case scenario, tag Dunlap/pick up a FA and draft a DE early next year. If this team hopes to go anywhere in 2018, they gotta fix the o line, IMHO.
True, have to fix the O-line after what PA and company did. This HAS to be the priority in this Draft.
Should only take two picks but they should be high in order to find one of those can't miss prospects.
Too bad there never is one, but all i know is we need a top Center.
