Before you speak, look where he is ranked this year among all tackles...
Not just left tackles either...

I agree , both the OL positions cant be addressed in draft , FA is better for C/G and may be T in early rounds(2nd round), We need to get DL help - some one in the mould of Ward in houston in the 1st round and a decent safety. Or safety position can be shored by return of Church and hopefully healthy Johnson.

As some one mentioned , Jerra's S-i-L needs to do a better job with his glasses. Jerry is not seeing the 7 sacks and numerous hits and all the jugglery Romo is going thru'.

To me O-Line is without a doubt the biggest need. Some work to the D-Line would also be a very good idea.

But O-Line has to be the first, second, and third priority of this team for the offseason.

RT in round 1. C or G in round 2. Unless we land a stud FA at either spot.

I also want a top Return Specialist. I wish Lockett of K-State was going to be available.

...state of affairs when we begin making next year's draft wish list.

I understand everyone's frustration with the line and the obviousness of the issue doesn't bode well.

He only values glamour horses who eat up lots of cap but produce few victories. Jerry is a Nieman Marcus buyer who doesn't shop at the "5 & dime". Get used to mediocrity my friends.

only 1 first rd pick in 24 years used on the O line

and then what does he do otherwise- two bargain basement FAs

Kind of destroys that arguement, doesn't it?

He hired a "name" OL coach and truly believes that will overcome garbage talent.

He thought that with Houck also.

He isn't going to change.

Good players make good coaches much more so than the opposite.
