Some have mentioned it already but there is a reason half our line didn't play offensive line in college. Cable said last year he would rather have a dlineman who has ability to learn the oline instead of a olineman who played in the spread offense. He said it was easier and more successful to turn the dlineman than try to reteach a spread guy. With that said, I knew it was going to take most of the year for our line last year to figure it out and it did. Our line wasn't lights out but they were way better at the end of the year than the beginning.
I say all that to say this. If we take a linemen it probably will be a dlineman project in the later rounds, I don't expect us to take a olineman early and probably not at all. i don't see okung back, hell we looked better against the panthers when he got hurt. Sweezy could come back but we certainly aren't breaking the bank for him, if a team comes big for him ala carpenter I see us letting him walk. Honestly, of our "big FA" I really could see them only bringing back none. Okung, sweezy, Irvin, mebane, kearse all gone.
