    Even if we go Ramsey, we still should add a RT. Byron Bell is best off at LG, not RT imo.

    Lewan - Bell/Poutassi - Jones - Warmack/Spain - Rd2RT

    Guards battle it out for starting spots.

    Our center play has sucked ever since Mawae retired, I think jones makes a big difference. C should have been addressed last year in FA, but Amy kept the money.

    Ya exactly. C is the second most.important part of the line. It's been so frustrating the lack of care they've shown for that position

    I fully trust Lewan, Jones & Warmack to handle their own this year. But if we're starting TWO of Spain/Bell/Poutasi, we're in big trouble again. One of those guys can start at Guard worse case scenario, but we still need to add a new Tackle.

    How are these ratings calculated?

    If we can just sign 1 more vet on the line, we'll be in good shape. Warmack and lewan own thier spots for next year, they just need some guidance. We got a better coach and a vet c now, that's gonna be big. I think adding a rookie rt at 33 or 64 will set this line up for success. That gives us 3 young guys to hold it down for the future and 2 vets to help them along the way.

    First off, I put ZERO stock in PFF's ratings.

    But a few things to keep in mind.

    First, we had a coaching problem in the OL room the last 2 years. I don't know Grimm will be good, but he will be better than Bostad.

    Second, our run blocking and our ability to have a quality run game will be MORE important than just pass blocking ratings because passing on 3rd and 3 (and HAVING to pass less) is a lot different than passing in 3rd and 10 all day!

    Third, JR is doing what he said he'd do. Build an OL with depth and a lot of competition! Right now, the only guy without competition is Lewan at LT. At LG I expect the battle will be between Warmack, Spain, Poutasi, Jones, Bell. At OC it'll be Schwenke and Jones. At RG it'll be again, Warmack, Spain, Poutasi, Jones, Bell. At RT it'll be Bell vs vet we sign and or someone we draft. There are some others who could surprise but that's what I'd expect.

    The best guys start and not only do we have competition, but we have a lot of depth on the interior at least. If we get a new starting RT and Bell isn't starting anywhere else, we'll have at least a little depth at OT too. We can always pick up someone else too. Eugene Monroe and Ryan Clady could get cut or traded too. Maybe Joe Thomas? Probably some vet options after the draft if we don't go all in in the draft.

    Cause he's fat, hence why he's slow and sloppy with his technique

    But if we're not going to be a zone blocking team his size can be a benifit in the running game. Just have to limit the passing plays he's asked to block a guy 1-on-1.

    That's sad considering where we drafted him. He's on the roster bubble
