Which 2013 O-Line combo gives us the best chance to win more that 7 games?

4 or 6 is of course ideal. You obviously can't draft a OG in the top half of the first round and while Bell will be an adequate player someday I think, it ain't gonna be at Guard. Get a nice rookie prospect at OT, sign a FA to be your RG and I think that's clearly the best path.

You absolutely can draft an OG in the top half of the first. This year may actually have two....Warmack and Cooper will most likely both go in the Top 20.

I don't think Gross is a good fit at RT at this point in his career, not sure he can generate enough power to be effective in the run game. I personally like Bell, he's a young player but he's developing nicely.

I'd go for option 1 or 2 with a change, I'd move Silatolu to RG and put either Warmack or Cooper at LG since both of these guys are know for their speed and agility (which makes them ideally suited to be pulling guards).

1. LT - FA

LG - Amini

C- Kalil

RG - Barrett Jones

RT - Gross

2.

LT Gross

LG Amini

C Kalil

RG - Jonathan Cooper

RT - FA

I'd be happy with signing a young mid level OT and drafting a player like Cooper from NC.

Just get Byron Bell out of the SL please.

Bell is okay. Just okay. In no way should he be considered "good" or "above average" at this point in his career.

If we have a chance to get our future LT in the draft, start the rook at RT. Once Gross decides to hang it up, move the pick to LT and maybe by then Bell will be fully developed and ready to contribute. Worst case he is excellent depth.

Hangartner simply must be replaced and that shouldn't be difficult or expensive in FA.

Do these things and we could have a dominant O-line for years.

Sign me up for a combo of 4 and 6. Draft gross replacement and start him at RT for a season or two then switch them when needed.

Before the boo birds come out let me just say that one trick pony offensive linemen are a thing of the past. Whomever we draft on the line should be able to play multiple positions thus the 4-6 combo.

What FA LT is better than Gross? That would dictate Gross moving to RT?

I don't have the list in front of me but I'm sure I could find at least 3 I would rather have than Gross. One was franchised today by the Chiefs.

I'd love to see Jordan move to RT and end his career that way. Who knows, a move like that could extend his career a few more seasons.

These are probably all moot points because I'm not sure how much money will be available and we have other needs.

There are 3 FAs you think are better LTs than Gross? I think you should take a look before you say something like that

1. There's no reason to move Bell, he was solid last year and still have room to improve.

2. I love how everyone pretend's this is like Madden and you can just move OL around

If Cam wasn't a freak show....Piggy, Bell, and Amini would have had a normal QB in IR.

But I am more worried about RG than Bell. Cam can at least see Bell's guy coming the easiest
