It’s like 2014 and 2016 never happened.
Where we had elite OLs without having an elite OL at every spot along the OL but both times came up small in the big game because we had no defense.
So let’s draft an OL again at 19. Makes sense.
I also like how it’s just a foregone conclusion that an OG from UTEP is gonna just step in and be a stud from day one.
We had a defense last season, best one we have had in years but our offense took a step back because we were missing Zeke, and this O-line had not been what it was prior and plus we had no depth.
Add someone like Hernandez, we are most likely running all over defenses again, and also have adaquate depth in case of injury (Tyron), with Fleming.
We have all the rest of those draft picks to utilize on our already much improved defense. As of the moment we will have Irving for the whole season, possibility of Gregory returning, Taco in year 2, and the addition of Ealy who is very solid player even if the last two I mentioned don't pan out.
Point is, getting this offense back on track is key to this teams clock control identity. Our defense is already better than where we were at in those past p/o games, and alot of picks there still to improve that D further.
