Geoff Schwartz - how to pick a great NFL lineman

Schwartz is a good Twitter follow as well.  Just a smart guy, and his football insights are wonderful.

  While I agree with the premise of the article, I have one question about the teams he mentioned. Agree on most, but in what way is Ohio St. running a "pro-style" offense? Not arguing the results of their players. Just that their system is far from similar to the others. 

   Also, Alabama OL really hurt this theory, to a degree. Still valid points he made.

I am happy with our OTs espically Daryl Williams , we should draft a OT in the mid to late rounds.

Getting a true inline TE will help the OL a lot more with ability to block and stretch the defense.

 

I'm a bit nervous about our tackle situation. Oher is still a mystery if he's going to be able to come back and perform and the jury is still out on Kalil. I have high hopes that both will be ready and able, hopefully at the top of their form. I think Williams can perform well at RT, but he is still learning, in my opinion.

I can't disagree in the least with you about an inline TE, it is a need that should be addressed sooner rather than later. And it should be someone that can slide in and take over when Olsen is ready to call it a career (let's hope that is still a few years down the road). The quality of TEs in this class would make it a good year to go ahead and make a big pick.

thats my thinking. the OL may be fine, but it may be a disaster. if it goes badly, another season completely wasted. 

given those unknowns, you take insurance.
