2009 O Line

[cstjohn17]

Age / year signed through of signed Patriot linemen at start of 2009 season:
LT - Light -31 - signed through 2010
LG - Mankins - 27 - signed through 2009
C - Koppen - 31 - signed through 2011
RG - Neal - 32 - signed through 2009
RT - Kaczur - 30 - signed through 2009

Reserves
C Ryan Wendell (62) 6-2, 275, 23 years, signed through 2010
G Billy Yates (74) 6-2, 305, 29 years, signed through 2009
RT Ryan O'Callaghan (68) 6-7, 344, 26 years, signed through 2009


After the 09 season 3 out of 5 starters are over free agents (plus 2 out of 3 reserves) and 4 out 5 starters are over 30. It might be a year too late but in the 2009 draft there will likely be some linemen drafted.

There are some obvious studs that won't be available at pick 32 but there should still be a lot of good players.

Any players we should be watching this year?

The ROT that I want the Pats to draft is Unger of Oregon or Boone of OSU or Seaster of Purdue and if I had to have an OG in this draft, I might take Urbik of Wisconsin, but I would rather move Stancheck of West Virginia to OG alaMankinsa few years ago.

I will watch these guys, thanks. It looks like over the next 2 years we should see a pretty significant amount of change along the O line.
