Our O line played extremely well down the stretch, I'm not sold its a huge need.

We got rid of the weak link in Bell, I don't care what anyone says, Oher was a great pick up and is a upgrade. Over the last several games of the season Stew was pounding it on the ground, Cam was being protected well. Remmers and Norwell looked very good and our O line is still young.

I think people only remember the images of Cam getting beat up early in the year but forget just how good our O line looked the last part of the season. If I remember correctly, Remmers played very well yet people want to replace him. I really think we need to focus on WR heavily in the draft and we might just be set at O line

We really didn't beat any decent teams the last 6 games(that I can remember). Yes we finally have two studs at guard and a guy who shined at RT after basically doing.nothing in the NFL. We need a LT, and not some journeyman guy. I have faith in the staff that this will be addressed, along with the other holes.

Yea people keep saying things like our oline , def, offense, etc got better down the stretch when we simply played terrible teams down the stretch. I thought if we had played philly, Pitt, Baltimore, etc at the end of the season rather than the beginning the game results woulda been basically the same. The only thing I saw legit improvement in is the secondary. We definitely need o-line help, pass rush, WR, and safety help.

Our O-line is extremely tenuous.  LT is arguably the biggest need that we have.  I thought the same thing last year, and it largely proved out.  Now the epiphany of Norwell and Remmers makes me feel a little better---and we may be rolling with Remmers at LT when the season starts---but if we don't draft an LT in this draft, I am going to think that G-man has a screw loose.

      What if BPA is Will Campbell?

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.

      Im all for defense. I’ll add Will Johnson and remove McMillian. While I’d rather have DL, two strong corners will allow for more safety help in the box, so it’s still a win for the run game.
