They have taken a chance on some late round Offensive linemen they just didn't pan out. As you can all see the odds of a late round pick making a major impact or even making the team is the exception not the norm. Please stop complaining about a 4th/5th round pick. Pete Kendall is a good Guard who will help this team for the next few years. Manual White will never help this team.

And they tried to bring Wilson and Molinaro along. It just didn't pan out. I think people are overstating our O-lines problems. Good depth doesn't mean you have 10 Pro-Bowlers. Good depth means you can lose one or two guys and still function reasonably well. I think when the regular season comes and they unleash the full running game with traps and tosses and delays and all the things they haven't run yet, we will find that the offensive line is a strength of this team. Kendall is just the last peice of the puzzle. Mark my words...
