IMO the DL is a bigger issue and tougher to address

Respectfully, if it were as easy as inserting a RT and a guard or two, we wouldn't have had 10+ years of garbage line play.

We need respectable starters and at least 2 solid backups. We presently have one solid starter who isn't even playing all that well (Ty Smith) and total garbage everywhere else. I agree that the DL isn't great either, which speaks to the point that we're simply not going to be able to remake this team in one offseason.
