Does anyone think both OT positions will not be priority number 1 and 2 this offseason? Maybe CB and / or S will be up there but I think both OT positions will be 1 and 2/3 as far as glaring holes after this year. That is worrisome going into this year. Can Kliff do damage control with scheme? Sure. Well …. Hopefully, but anyone who is convincing themselves that we will be A- ok is probably in for a rude awakening.
there were/are alot of holes on this roster, only had finite number resources to solve them in the short term , this is going be 2-3 season rebuild
commanders could have draft joe alt with the number two 2; LT position solved but QB is a problem now
i think the knowledgeable fan on here knows the oline will be a struggle this season

Yeah. AP went above and beyond without breaking the bank. In no way am I insinuating that the off-season was a failure because the oline is still a question mark. Just not going to sugar coat things and think that we can scheme our way around the glaring holes at Tackle. Definitely a 2-3 year rebuild. I hope that JD is not shell shocked after year one.
So do we trust in AP or think he’s crazy for not doing more to address the OL? 🤔

He hasn't lost my trust yet. I think it's a combination of - you can't fix it all in one off season, and they probably don't think the OT group is as dire a situation as everyone on here does.

Trying to fill all our holes in 1 off-season:

If the guys we drafted in the 1st 3 rounds work-out, then it's fine that they didn't draft more OL that possibly wouldn't have worked out. Newton was by far the best player, smart teams make that pick. Not like we didn't need a TE or all the secondary help we could get, and a new slot receiver to replace Samuel. Plus Coleman was beat up in 2023, he had awesome numbers in 2022. I imagine he is a starter for most of next season somewhere on the line, and a starter when healthy after that for the remainder of his contract, so we likely did add a starting OL as well.
Note - I want that cat.

i will believe it when i see it but the faith/trust at the current moment is very shaky.

Offseason isn’t over, but I generally don’t believe Lucas will be much of step down from Leno. Yeah, if we have an injury at tackle that make me more nervous.
Hoping for the best

I still think we add probably two free agent tackles before the summer is over. To your point, an injury at the tackle position with the current "depth" would be fairly devastating. It's tough enough to envision Lucas & Wylie as the bookend tackles, let alone having to roll out their replacements for any significant amount of time.

I do hope you're right. A bona fide LG would be nice as well. Allegretti is not a starter IMHO.
JD may look great running the football but he does take a lot of sacks. :(
