Still can't believe we could have drafted him instead of Bobby Carpenter.
To be honest, a lot of players fit that description.

Every team can play the "Gosh if we hadn't draft 'him' we could have drafted 'him'" game.
Not much to be gained from going through the exercise.
The most important thing about this news is that we obviously don't feel content with the line, even though it was much improved last year. This shows me that they are not through overhauling the offensive line and realize there is a lot of room for improvement. I'm hopeful they also go OL early in the draft. We are one injury away from the OL being a weakness.
If the staff is impressed enough with his workout, he might at least merit a backup role. So much depends upon his state of health.

They have no depth and the guy may be cheap because of the bad year after the knee injury.
Yes, but usually when they are looking for depth they look for young guys to develop or they wait and go through the bargain bin during training camp. They are out in front on this one and I hope it is due diligence because they want to make it a priority.
Depth can be a 2-3 year answer. Doesn't have to be a potential starter just improve.

Well, he doesn't have to be a potential starter BUT he needs to be a potential starter. Chances are he is going to start at some point in the season. We have almost zero depth inside.
And it looks like he can for a few years as needed. I'm not gonna fall for your quandrious delima here. he's solid depth we don't have. Let a role player be a role player.
My point was that they are addressing it now instead of waiting, which would appear to be a priority for a change. Not sure quandrious is a real word but I am pretty sure there is no dilemma here.
There isn't a set pro timeline in which things happen.
If you see improvement, you do it.
And yes its a word
