Wouldn't surprise me. I'd be OK if we gave Little and Daley more of a chance and moved Moton to LG if these OTs are as good as advertised. At this point, I have no clue what Marty's going to do and I wish we just went interior OL last year and grabbed McCoy and Evans instead of Little. We'd have our C of the future and maybe a G in Evans and then we could take our T at 7 and have a full OL. Instead, we still need an answer at LT, LG and C. So frustrating when you'd think that when Ryan Kalil retired that Marty would think, hey I drafted Ryan with a 2nd round pick and there are 3 top C prospects, I wonder if one would be available at 47 and McCoy was. Instead, he somehow thought he was getting Jordan Gross at 37 as if every other NFL team was wrong about Little.

Pardis has a 3 year deal .. I don't think they are giving up on him either.. I think you go into the draft looking for a versatile guard who can play center as well.. And maybe pick up a veteran OT for backup and insurance just in case the young guys still struggle to stay healthy next year..

You cannot evaluate properly, the skill positions if you cannot control, at least somewhat, the line of scrimmage.  LB's have G's attached to their chest.  Our pass rush is non existent without blitzing which leaves your CBs on an island with no help.  Same on offense.  Plays cannot develop, QB's have to anticipate and hope that receivers that are new to them will end up where they are throwing cause if they hold the ball another second, they are sacked.

Lots of our ills have to do with the Oline and Dline's shortcomings.  Fix those first before giving up on everyone else.  Cams health might dictate otherwise, but if not, the lines through coaching, scheme or new personnel, have to be fixed.

The teams that upgraded their OLs started winning.  When Dallas' Jones started drafting OL, they got better.  Too much talent to be 7-9, but the defense is to blame there--and coach---and front office.  The Colts really do not have much at the skill positions, but that OL kept them in the hunt.  Brissett in Carolina would be as bad as Kyle Allen. 

I think we will address the OL and DL in free agency and the draft, but I am not certain we go line round 1.  We could, but because it seems to be our biggest need, but MH has never really valued OL.  He will go after the player that makes him look good early--Jeudy or Okudah or Espenesa (sp) is my dark horse. I think he goes C in round 2 if Humphrey is still on the board.

Personally?  I want Thomas, Brown, Okudah, Wirfs--in that order for now.

There needs to be a priority flow chart.

Always smart to look like a hero when being good again in only 3.  Better than the reverse

Doesn’t really matter that Hurney has forever neglected the o-line, Tepper considers it important so it’s important. And I’m sure Marty knows that his days as GM are numbered.
