Difference an oline makes it to a season Colts

We have absolutely got to upgrade that oline

Left to right 

need further, Cowboys. Dak is ordinary 

first pick in draft needs to be a stud LT.  The second most important position on the team

got to be. Please sweet baby Jesus 

What if there aren’t any “stud LTs” available?

That would also be the difference in a GM seeing as Ryan Grigson shuffled the O-line on an annual basis.

And of course, there's also Frank Reich, a guy I was really hoping we'd get.

If McDaniels would have just kept his word. Like Reich too. Starting to get interested in Bienemy.

Every year people on this board talk about how important O-line is but once the draft rolls around they talk themselves out of it.

The "sexier" positions (WR, RB, DE) always seem to be more important at draft time.

  I’m saying there isn’t any OL in this draft worth #16. With 3 picks between 78 and 115(around those) there is plenty of opportunity to take one or two G/C candidates.

Remains to be seen, but we can certainly trade up with a first, second and extra third.

If there’s not one worth 16(that’s JMO) why would I want to trade up. 

  And I sure don’t want Hurney trading up under any circumstances.

    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.  
    • I swear that hire continues to make zero sense to me, but im all for it
