Once you have 2 of that caliber of player, it gets real tough and not just because then you're 1 injury away from 3 (and thus the majority) of the starters being mediocre or worse players.
They're all guys you'd be okay with having as your 5th best starter, but you can't have a line built out of 5th best starter guys.
Need 3 real upgrades this offseason on the OL if they want it to be good. You have Jonah wherever you put him (though his durability is starting to be a concern) and you can probably live with a competition of XSF/Spain at RG without Hopkins.
Assuming Sewell is off the board, that means Jonah likely stays at LT. So you need legit upgrades at LG, a C, and RT. Probably 2 of those 3 in FA, and the third in the 2nd round.
Well said.
We've all talked about Thuney, but the better plan may be to throw a ton of money at Corey Linsley, sign a tackle (Moton in my wildest dreams), then take the best guard left at 38. When Hopkins comes back, he can compete with XSF at whatever guard position is left.
