HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING A GOOD O-LINE FOR INJURED BURROW ?

Winning in the trenches greatly impacts your ability to win the game. If you can protect your QB and run the ball, you are going to have more success. Flip side, stop the run and get after the QB, more wins.

The draft and FA need to be highly focused on the lines. All this talk of a speedy WR is meaningless. The Raiders always drafted 1st round WRs, so did the Lions and other loser franchises.

Look at Green Bay, look at New England. Get a good QB, protect him, and play good defense. A good/great QB can make average WR's look better than they really are.

Brady threw to 2 different 4 time All Pro WR's in NE in Welker and Moss.  He also had a 4 time All Pro TE in Gronk.

Rodgers has had 3 different Pro Bowl WR's in Cobb, Nelson, and Adams.  

Pretty much every great QB in the modern era has his name linked with a great WR.  Montana had Rice.  Aikman had Irvan.  Manning had Harrison.  Brady had Welker.  Roethlisberger had Brown.  Brees had Thomas.  

Plus, what do most of the young QB's who have stepped in and had immediate success had?  Herbert has Keenan Allen.  Mahommes has Hill.  Goff had Woods, Cooks, and Kupp.  Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson have/had Deandre Hopkins.  Any coincidence that Josh Allen made a big jump this year after the Bills went out and got him Diggs?

This team needs a lot of help in a number of different areas.  If we can add a great player at pretty much any position group, we should.
