The obvious one is Dalton, but that's already been mentioned, so I'll go with Cordy Glenn. Sure, he's not Whit. He's also not Ogbuehi. The line still has a ways to go before it's even average, but it's surely better than last year. We're on pace for 34 sacks (rounded up) after giving up 41 and 39 in the previous 2 years.
Btw, seems kinda silly blaming Dalton for Ross coming along slowly, when Dalton has gotten better production out of guys like Jerome Simpson and ArmonBoldin Binns. He also got similar production (and a much better completion rate) with Cody Core just last year. I loved the Ross pick, but he was quite a bit more green than I expected.
He obviously has some red zone ability, but he needs a lot of work in pretty much every other area, from route running to reading the ball in the air and adjusting his speed to make the catch (or at least be in the vicinity). People don't seem to understand that deep ball success is as much on the receiver as it is the QB.
