The front 7 of most defenses have just become such athletic freaks that it’s hard for the OL to keep up.
You have DL and edge rushers that are as fast as secondary defenders. It’s so hard for the traditional OL guys to keep up and TEs are getting rag dolled.
The pendulum swinging back will be RBs that are LB sized for pass protection and TEs that are the size of Darnell Washington that essentially gives you an extra LT or RT on the line
Oh god oh fuck are we REALLY starting with mock drafts already!!?! FFS I feel like we dealt with these mock draft posts for 5 months straight last season into the draft
Our OL has been an absolute carousel. Braxton Jones is good enough to be LT. But he missed half the season so far with injury. Nate Davis missed games. Jenkins missed games.
Just because we take a top LT prospect in the draft doesn’t mean our OL will magically play all 17 games healthy each year. With how important LT is i would love to have true depth there
