Option A or Option B?

But with Glenn's injury issues, Boling being in his last year, and Hart being Hart, it's something that still needs to be a priority in the draft. 

My point is if we ran the same O line out there as last year it still wouldn't be as bad as if we ran the same defense out there. With that horrible O line Mixon still had a pretty awesome year and Dalton was having a standard year before injury. If we run the same defense out there we are looking at once again being on the verge of a historically bad defense. 

There is always something to be said for looking to the future but that is what Day 3 picks can be used for. Plus, cuts from training camp usually yield some veteran O linemen who were supplanted by rookies or younger players.
