For all those who wrung their hands at us not taking Meredith or another OT in the later rounds, do we really expect that they would come in and suddenly be the answer. I don't. I think they will need a year or two under their belt before they reach that point. That by the way is what Rinehart, Clark, and Heyer now have. So why shouldn't we be counting on them to be " the guys", at the least for the back up positions.

I would also remind you that Kendall came from the Jets in July/August time frame. So that year we would not have had him in mini camp either.

Finally, if our line absolutely needs better talent, than that is on Bugel and Zorn to make their case to the FO, comments from Buges that Rabach is the best Center, are going to lessen the OL need in the eyes of the FO, not heighten it.

For those who preach that Snyder needs to get out of the way of his football people, you should joyful that we did not get OL in the draft, because according to the coaches we have got good talented youth. Unless you don't trust our "football people" either.
I am going to write heretical words:

Is it possible that Buges is too loyal to his guys? Further, is it possible that our troubles with developing young linemen have to do with the fact that Buges is too old and the game has passed him by? In sum, is it possible that Buges is holding us back from creating the kind of front line that we need because he is living too much in the past and not enough in the future?
