The O-line was not great last year, and they have added three O-linemen so far...all potential starters.
I can't believe they are ignoring the O-line...
"Starter" is a very broad term. While Wylie is an improvement, Gates is not much if any upgrade and Stromburg will likely spend this year as a backup.
Ron keeps referring to Kansas City as a model. In 2021 they recognised the weakness of the O line and then spent a 1st , a 2nd and a later picks on quality starters as well as giving out a top of the market contract to Joe Thuney at guard. This year they gave a high end contract
to a FA left tackle. All because they recognised that even having Patrick Mahomes, without an OL they wont win anything. What Ron and Martin are doing is at best applying band aids . But that is just my opinion.
