T:  Braxton Jones, Larry Borom, Alex Leatherwood, Kellen Diesch

G: Nate Davis, Tevin Jenkins, Cody Whitehair, Ja'trye Carter, Dieter Eiselen

C : Lucas Patrick, Doug Kramer

Likely Starters as of 3-14 (morning) if you had to play a game:

Braxton Jones, Nate Davis, Lucas Patrick, Tevin Jenkins, Larry Borom

Probably looking to upgrade the red.

Larry Borom makes me sad.  I believe he could be a plus G in this league and they should have moved him to G last year along with Jenkins - probably before Jenkins.

I do still think Borom can be a solid Lineman in the league, but I think it needs to be strictly in a power scheme.

Would still like to change him out for a mid round pick, and think we can

I like Borom too but we need a cornerstone RT

 we also need cornerstone 3t and edge 

 after this, or before we need a stud TE   and RB (depending on what happens w/monty)

all of this in one offseason is likely too much to pull off, but Poles is off to a great start  !

Just 3 cornerstones and 2 studs, eh? Easy peasy.

So far we added 2 legit plus NFL players in Tremaine Edmunds and DJ Moore.   

Nate Davis is a highly likely upgrade at one guard spot.   Walker is a decent to solid rotational DL.  Edwards is a good LB, but I don't know that he is way better than what we had last year.   

I think it likely we land at least 2 plus players in draft and there are still at least 10 vets coming to fill out Roster yet still.    Probably at least one more big name in FA.   

It's clearly going to be a two year rebuild, but adding at least 4 plus players to mix in addition to more quality depth/rotational players will make a difference over last year.

We aren't likely going to be hot garbage again if we can stay realtively healthy.

It doesn't sound from presser that Cody is being let go.  He mentioned him going to C.  

Though I think if they draft a C in first 3 rounds he may still be.  

Greg Gabriel said that on his show yesterday. He believes Davis is LG. Whitehair is C, Jenkins is RG.   Ja'trye Carter is swing and Patrick is C back up.
