Also if we did what you said here PA would probably still be here and we would be screwed cause these guys are polished and
those are the only type of O-lineman that PA has done well with. I like how it played out, now we have Pollack and Glenn and
are looking to draft a top Center.
Hurst and Ragnow/Price would be fine with me though. As long as we get one of these two i will be happy.
Yes, getting rid of PA was the highlight of the off season for me. I like what Pollack has done in Houston and Dallas so he should be able to rehabilitate our OLine.
However, I would theorize that had we had done any combination of Zeit, DeCastro or Glenn, then we may have actually won a Play off game or 2 and who knows possibly a SB.
A line that has bookends Whitworth and Smith with the OG being any of those 3 would have given Dalton more time in the pocket as well as making our RBs more successful. The following year we picked up Eifert and Bernard and that would have been where our Post season success truly began. We would have had AJ Green, Eifert, Bernard, Sanu and Jones Jr, with Dalton having the time to plan his retirement during each snap. We would have had this for 3-4 years.
I agree that getting an OC in the 2nd round is more ideal than trying to get one in the 1st. If you ask 10 different people who the best OC is in this draft, you would get 10 different answers. If you ask those people to name the best TE they will give you Hayden Hurst.
