Oh crap, we need a Center

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.

Several on here talk about Hopkins like he's an All Pro center, he's average at best. It's just that overall our line has been a shit show and an average guy looks all world to us. 

Like the LL says very well you can't have an Oline or any position group for that matter we're they're all 4th/5th beast starters on any normal NFL Oline and that's been our problem. 

We can probably be ok with Spain starting or XSF starting. But like he says we probably need at least 3 upgrades, serious upgrades on our Oline. Two at the very minimum !!
