We essentially need to entirely retool out depth. Fabini could be gone. Wade may struggle to make the team. Pucillo may be done. And none of them are young. Now we'll def have some depth with Heyer but we still need a swing player inside who can play both guards and possibly center and a nice young tackle. I think to get a swing we need a vet. It'd be hard for a rookie of any talent to be counted on to effectively play 3 spots. The tackle depth SHOULD be handled via the draft and there are some options there. If we were to draft a Guard early I would be shocked if he didn't start straight away leaving Kendall as the depth. Can Kendall play center? IDK. But we need a backup center from somewhere and I don't think we even have one on roster if Pucillo is really done. Our line needs work and there is no one way to address it but several ways we could go. I suspect they'll be at least one modest FA signed.
