OT.
Okung hurt his toe again and there really is nobody who can play LT at a reasonable level. Quinn's going to have another field day if they don't keep the TE in to help.
If we get one of the top Ts, he should be able to play on the right side. When Okung goes down to injury he can move to LT.
Guard is the 2nd area.
The OL as a whole has been neglected relative to the DL.
After Okung and Later Carpenter, when was the last 2nd or 3rd round pick - or quality FA pickup. Was it Moffitt in the 3rd?
Maybe being Defensive oriented, they just don't have the same feel about what qualities they need up front on Offense.
The Offense is generated by the OL. Using late round picks and converted DLs just won't cut it when the other parts of the team are top notch.
It's like flat tires on a race car.
