Isn't that what we're basically going to have with Jonah Williams and Fred Johnson's one start between them (assuming Johnson beats out Hart, which is what everyone wants).
I don't think the article was necessarily disagreeing with the idea that several positions needed revamping, but was rather arguing that O-line should have been prioritized more when you have a rookie QB.
I think QBs would take the O-line over a defense if they couldn't all be fixed at once.
Maybe. Then again maybe a QB would want and arsenal of weapons to distribute the ball to like Burrow had at LSU. Hence Higgins in round 2. Burrow's o-line was just okay. None went on day 1. Only 2 went on day 2. One was a UDFA.
On the other hand, 2 of his offensive skill counterparts went in round 1. He's going to a team with 2 top end receivers that can't stay on the field. I think it's every bit a justifiable to take a receiver as it is a OL.
Add this to the fact that Mixon hasn't exactly had a lot of trouble running behind the current group, and I think holding off a year to allow for development before burning it down is justifiable.
