And we’re being linked to one of the top two FA’s (Thuney) at that position by multiple sources. Hell, even bringing back a guy like Zeitler (if the Giants cut him to save 12m in Cap) would be a major improvement. It just can’t be stressed enough how much we’ve missed Boling the last couple years. Our guards have been TRASH. And as mediocre as Hart is, he’s way better than any G we have on the roster.
Address the IOL in FA, then we can go BPA at 5 (likely Chase or Pitts) if Sewell isn’t there. And then see what OT’s fall to the 2nd (Leatherwood, Eichenberg, etc) to start planning for moving on from Hart.
The entire line needs an overhaul, not just tackle, but tackles usually go first and then guards second in the draft.
Right now what do we have? Jonah is unproven and been injured both years. LG - ? C - Hopkins if healed otherwise Price, RG - Spain/XSF (not great), RT - Bobby Hart.
Why am I so fixated on drafted the O-line? Because we could actually use an upgrade all 5 spots. No one from last year should be looked at as a starter right now. Sign Thuney, sign Williams, and still draft Sewell or Darrisaw or Slater. Now you have 3 good starters.
I'm stunned on this coming from you, as you were champion of the we must draft Burrow parade and when he went down, you were all no reason to watch anymore and tank for Sewell.
Now you are less concerned with his health and wanting Pitts or Chase? I don't want to see the kid cared off again, and we need 3 to 4 new guys to make sure it doesn't happen again.
