This seems a bad strategy. We don't want low round rookies protecting Burrow next season nor when camp reps are limited do we want to be using reps on scrubs. The O-line needs as much time together as we can get it.

It makes more sense to replace Ross/Green with, say, a 3rd round WR and spend the money saved on a quality O-lineman in free agency combined with a round 1 or, as we'll be picking high again, rd 2 draft pick.

Ideally we want to go into camp knowing our best O-line and give them as much time as we can to gel.

It is also important that we go into next season with some depth in the O-line. That means retaining the likes of XSF when we upgrade their position. It's fine to have the likes of Johnson and Calhoun battle it out in pre-season out but they shouldn't be plan A or even plan B.
