Offensive Line Prospects

I was not a fan of Tytus Howard last season specifically because of the Senior Bowl. Howard reminded me of Ogbuehi always with wide elbows and hugging instead of tucked elbows hands holstered firing out.

Neither was very good last year.  Howard had a PFF rating of 59.4 and Dillard had a PFF rating of 59.7.  

There's just such a steep learning curve and such a difference in physicality that it's very difficult to find plug and play OL in the draft outside of round 1 anymore, and the aforementioned two guys were actually 1st rounders.  One falls through the cracks here or there, but you're usually eating at least a year or two of their rookie deal for them to warm the pine while they develop.  It's magnified for a guy like Jones because he's a finesse T from a small school and needs at least a year in an NFL weight room before he's ready to start.  

At 33, I really don't want a project.  It would be better to get a guy who can hit the ground running and contribute at a high level than a guy like Jones.  If you're going OL there with the intention to start them as a rookie, they need to be a guy who's played big boy college ball to make an easier transition.
