After seeing what happened last year, there is no one in a pool of free agents who could help? It maybe still too early for my criticism with the draft a couple weeks away....late rounders who the team likes could certainly fill that need.

But we need a couple guys and a starting left guard.

Last year all the injuries put a huge strain on our line, and gave Callahan a ton of tape on all our backups. Our line when healthy was very good, and with a new off season i trust our depth. I do want to get a left guard in the 4th/5th but we have 4 picks at least in those two rounds.

We only have 3. The trade with the Broncos just made us move up a couple of spots in both the 4th and the 5th, and get an extra 5th.

This is why I'd like to trade down in the first, to use an extra 2nd on a guard.

Guys for depth on the OL can be found later in FA, we know Nsekhe and Kouandjio are real quality back ups, but TJ Clemmings and Catalina are just flat out awful. Bergstrom is ok to fill the gap if needed.

We need a starting LG. Thats a must but i think the rest of the OL is good, and barring another injury season where we are literally signing OL off rhe street to dress for that week's game, we have solid backups as well.

Unfortunately, as long as we play on Fedex's abysmal field we may stay in the top 10% of injured teams.

We should, but at this time we don’t. And that is simply a fact. Until it actually happens, we don’t have quality depth at Oline.

We should have last year, but we didn’t. And that’s a fact too.

You realize we do not have the 5 starters. We do not have a starting caliber LG on our roster, Arie K. is not good enough.
Our starting Center has started just 7 games and is still in the unproven category. He looks promising but still unproven.
We have good back ups at Tackle. That is all.
Not sure what you are seeing?
Spending a 4th or later round pick on a starting guard is poor planning.
Poor prioritizing when we over spend on an injury prone WR and CB when we a have massive a hole at LG. WR's are easier to find in draft than starting guard.

Re: Redskins Offseason Thread
 

We def need a LG more so than a DL imo, which is why I hate not being able to draft Nelson (who is the best player in the draft).

Billy Price might be another good option

True and the kid from UTEP as well. Nelson probably wouldn't be so highly valued due to being a G but since Dallas took Z Martin that has all changed. I remember the "experts" all clowning Jerry for that pick.

Payne and Price, nice ring to it

Id take it.

draft a couple more Oline later in the draft. Re-Sign Luavo to a non-guarantee and tell him he wont see the field unless someone is injured.

The Lines would be set.

Has there been any news on Bree or Junior? Wonder if we would bring those guys back

Scandrick and McPhee signings should have closed the books on those 2.
