So far, I give Vrabel an A for is efforts in improving the OL. Our 2024 OL might be close to average, a huge, huge improvement.

For those who say that we are not doing enough THIS YEAR in improving the OL. Here is a reminder of the 2024 OL which played at least half the year. This was clearly one of the bottom 3 OL's in the NFL. This a very low bar. We should see a huge improvement in play at every position. Even Onwenu should be better when the palyers on each side of him are actual NFL-quality players.
=================
Lowe-Robinson-Brown-Onwenu-Jacobs
with no backups providing any solid reps (sow?)
===============================
We will replace at least 5 of last year's OL, keeping 4-5 of
Onwenu, Lowe, Robinson, Wallace and Sow
========
Vrabel will finish the rebuilding of the OL in 2026.
Yes,, I know that Jake Andrews or Brown or another acquisition could be the #10 OL instead of Sow.
 
Bradbury/Onwenu/Moses left to right is an average to slightly above right side (12-16 range?)
Robinson/Strange/Sow at LG has depth and possibly upside
A healthy Lowe with better OG play beside him also should play better.
add in better coaching and scheme to help the OL
this could be a top 15-20 OL in the league even before the draft

I like how you worded it, though top 20 is still bottom 12.

I do agree with everything you said, the run game should improve on the right side for sure.

The scheme should help Lowe if he plays LT because McD will do a better job giving help.

I’m not sure why comparison to last year matters.
Other than Onwenu (and Strange for 2 games) the whole group needed to be replaced.
I don’t think the bar is lower to replace dogshit vs replacing just inadequate.

So far we added an average C and an aging avg to avg+ RT to pretty average Gs. We still have no LT.
An A would be adding really good players regardless of whether the guy they ar replacing is a D or an F.

I'm confident it will be top-30.

I'd be very happy with top 15-20 after the draft.
