This is a great article. I am not sure where they got the O line rankings, but it has me firmly believing there is no Defensive player more important that fixing this line. The facts are there even with Lilja and Wiegmann.
I have read a lot of people thinking the O line is okay. I haven't seen any of those people disputing this article stating differently.
To me this article clearly shows that what people thougt they saw, wasn't so rose colored.
This oline needs help in a big way.
How nice would this line look if we took a LT at #5 or further down in a trade and perhaps get one of Charlie's boys from ND in OG Olsen later and have:
LT:Bulaga/Okung
LG:Waters/Olsen
C:Wiegman/Niswanger
RG:Lilja/Olsen
RT:Albert/O'Callahan
That does look good, but my guess is that Pioli will be looking to make the defense better first. What is the most important position in a 3-4 defense? What is our weakest position in the 3-4? Why would you pass up a chance to get the best one in the draft?
