Amini has a torn meniscus

I guess it's the drafting of two LBs in the draft and zero lineman that kinda sticks in my craw too.  It's clear which is more of the position of need.  We certainly didn't lose an All Pro linebacker to free agency like we did on the OL.

Hey, we needed WRs and I have no complaint about drafting Moore, etc., but it's as if they went all in on WRs in free agency at the expense of the OL.  They wanted to bring in guys that can stretch the field, but I just don't know if there are enough quality lineman on the roster to make that happen.

Do I need to remind anyone that it took a slew of injuries, including Amini getting injured in 2014, for Norwell to get a chance to start? Maybe a blessing in disguise. We know what that dude can do, let's hope someone else can step up the way Norwell did.

I hear ya on the drafting of Carter and Smith, but I'm not sure how much difference there really is between a 7th round pick and an UDFA (I know Carter went late in the 5th, but even then...)

For example, If we thought there were 20 guards that were all in the same tier (that were still available 5th round and later), it makes sense to just draft who we thought was BPA (regardless of position) and then grab the hog mollies post draft as we did with Mahon.  But hey, just my humble opinion.  We'll definitely be paying close attention to cuts here shortly.

Doesn't really change anything, our entire rotation of guards behind Trai and Moton is a crapshoot. Amini sucks, we know this, someone else might not.

We've got one hell of a D line!

Still just need to hope a decent veteran gets cut (they don't need to be a Pro Bowler just serviceable). They would basically be gifted the starting position here.
