Never.
This is the year this franchise stops doing whats it done for decades
And actually pay preminum $$$ for a guy like Thuney.
They overpay for bums like Preston Brown and Michael Westbrook
In past years and go to the bargain bin route regarding the oline
Jamar Chase would give this offense some real juice that it needs
Plus it would not take these 2 long to get on the same page
Chase and Burrow could be like Ryan Jones/ Manning Harrison
In time
And there's a reason for that - they generally draft linemen high.
Look at the last 20 years or so:
LT - Levi Jones, Andrew Whitworth
RT - Willie Anderson, Andre Smith
OG - Eric Steinbach, Kevin Zietler
Granted, they've missed on guys and held on to them too long and it hurt them (especially C with Bodine and Ghicuc) and the recent clunkers at tackle.
