yea I'm not down with spending a top 5/top 5 pick on a linemen that doesn't play Left Tackle.. Good thing guard, especially LG, is the weakest part of the line and not tackle.

^ out of those free agents - Alex Mack, Wade Smith, Veldheer.
I view the OL and WR position differently than the rest of you I guess - see WR Vastly Weaker (talent wise, comparing the WR to the OL ain't even close). outside of LG, I count 1 pro bowler (Long), One future pro bowler (Saffold), Not great but solid RT play in Barksdale, with questions at LG and Center. the LG rotation was hit and miss, center is an injury question mark with jones supposed to be able to take over in the future. For those questioning Jones, I remember reading why they were so high on him - he never got an assignment wrong in his last year in college... Not once. Jones had a rep as a highly,highly intelligent center who was blocking assignment sound.
The WR position - can't name one pro bowler, and outside Tavon austin, hasn't played at pro bowl or future pro bowl level. There is no one that is consistent here - whether it be catching,route running,separation.... and there's a lot less to work with. Only one player who played "above average" this season - again, that's tavon.
