    As of right now, who is our starting oline?

    10 characters....
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

    I think AV is still unsigned, so:

    LT-Banner
    LG-Dotson
    C-Finney
    RG-DeCastro
    RT-Okarafor

    Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. I hope we acquire a couple of starters via the draft/FA.

      Or they might flip the tackles?

        Yeah, I don't think it's set in stone

          I always thought RT was Banner’s natural position. Not sure which position is better suited for Chuks but I think we have someone come in and compete with him most likely. I’d guess we’ve gotta at least find a serviceable vet for Ben now that he’s fixed in the pocket.

            Thanks.
            Based on that don’t we need a center and at least 1 tackle added to the starting lineup?

                I think this is what it is now.

                The only player I feel good about in this configuration is Dotson. And he's got question marks too because of lack of playing time.

                  And a late round developmental guard for decastro next year?

                    That would be nice, but there might be too many other needs now for that.

                      Its a safe bet this will look different on 5/1 (post draft).

                        Sure hope so.

                          As of right now.... I don't think we can say. All of these restructuring of contracts/ terminations... I think they may sign someone. A starter.

                            Does anyone think that Haeg could push for the starting RT?

                              I’m not sure that would help much anyway. Having to pick between 2 mediocre guys
