| There are some good O-linemen in FA who aren't entirely old (Jake Scott, Max Starks) but its such a catch-22 because the o-line is good when healthy but that is never the case. I mean if they wanted to infuse some serious competition i guess thats ok but people who sign here are going to want to be guaranteed a spot. I mean i guess we could draft one but i personally would not prefer it anywhere before round 3. I guess we could at least get a decent guard in the third. |

Based on what I've read, most of the guards will still be available in the 3rd rnd. We are in much better shape at OT than we are at OG. |

| Exactly. We have Stephon Heyer who if I remember correctly is locked up for 3 years. He can play both sides of the line and is an adequate back up who will probably be a starter in the league. Our Guards are old. We must draft a Guard and another tackle to develope in hopes of transitioning them into starters. Also, we need to bring in a vet. guard in case we need someone early. Just my thoughts on the o-line. Rabach has a few years left and Pucillo is a G/C as well. |

I've read that Pucillo will retire due to back problems.
Our back up OL's under contract are:
Heyer
Wade
Sampson
Geisenger
Washington
All but Geisenger are OT's. We really need to focus pn interior lenemen. |
