Last year L&L did something many of us had been waiting for and spent two premium picks on the offensive line. Moving forward how comfortable are you with Donovan Smith at left tackle? Do you think he would be a better fit at guard? At right tackle? Does Mankins come back? Can Pamphile fill the void at LG if Makins retires? Are you comfortable moving forward with Hawley, Evan Smth and Jeremiah Warren at center? Marpet. I don't have much to say about him here. I think if he continues to grow we have our guy. Demar Dotson and Gosder Cherilus are both free agents after this year. Do you feel either will be extended or do we have an impending hole here? I posed these questions because Ronnie Stanley may very well be available for us at nine and there will likely be some nice lineman available in the second. Spriggs, Clark, Alexander, Whitehair etc etcWhile DE is a huge need and corner might be addressed as well, Stanley might be the BPA. A superior athlete to D. Smith, we might be able to upgrade two positions by starting Stanley at LT and playing Smith at guard. Extend Dotson and groom Pamphile and we have a young group that can grow together for years. In this scenario I would hope that DE was addressed in FA and that we'd be targeting one of the fringe first rounders in the second or late first after a trade up. Backup plans could be Calhoun in round two and Nassib in round three.All this being said, if Licht is comfortable with one of the DE/CB at nine then I'm all for it. But if there's concern about Spence's size, power, and past drug use, Ogbah's edge quickness, Clemson's track record especially with Dodd's one year of production and Hargreaves' size, and susceptibility to double moves, then Stanley should at least be considered. Stanley of course has his own flaws with technique and doesn't have the nasty demeanor of say a Jack Conklin, but I think he's one of the few lineman that has the athleticism to mirror the better speed rushers in the game. How comfortable are you with the state of the O-line and what additions, if any, would you like to see?
