I would have been much happier with this draft if a center had been taken with the second pick. This team has been on the cusp of winning it all and one of the reasons they haven't is the interior o-line, especially center. The front office tries to make do with mid round picks that are coached up. This works fine against weekly competition, but in the post season against top flight D-lines it hasn't.You can take a player with average skills and coach them up, but when that player goes up against premier talent, when the games really matter (lose and you go home) the difference in ability shows.We now seem to want bigger OL's. We keep 8-9 OL's on the 53.
TACKLES
Solder, Vollmer, Cannon, Fleming
The four tackles should be safe, especially since both backups can play RG.
GUARD AND CENTER
Mankins and Stork should be safe for 2014.
Wendell, Connolly, Kline, Cave, Barker, and Halapio are competing for 2-3 roster spots.
