Would these guys be good signings? Also, would we be able to bring in Brandon Moore to play guard if we put money into these guys, specifically loadholt?
The way I see it if you could acquire those two free agents, we could draft the other guard and we end up with a much improved line. Thoughts?

IMO, Loadholt is a biscuit or a birthday away from being too slow to play OT in the NFL.
He gets by with a lot of holding. The refs would run out of yellow flags if a Cowboys player used his techniques.
Brandon Moore would be perfect, IMO. He played 4 years with Callahan as his coach. He would be a veteran RG next to a young RT like Parnell and should be an expert in Callahan's system.
At age 32, Moore shouldn't command a large contract. Hopefully, they can draft/develop some Guards that would be pushing him for the starting job by 2014.
