Eh. Dockery is probably the worst active lineman we have. The only thing that impresses me about him is that he's not underperforming his contract, because he's getting like $2.5 million a year. And Will Montgomery makes him look like a great pass protector, so that's something.
You can build an OL with a Derrick Dockery type at left guard, but you have to do so pretty much willing to accept that he will be the 5th best lineman. He's proved durable, so we could do worse (i.e. everyone else we were planning to start this year).
If we were to truly rebuild the OL, Dockery would have to go as well. At this point, half-assing it might not be such a bad idea. We need new tackles, but until we figure something out, it's hard to evaluate what we have on offense.
Luckily, we have nothing else on offense. So there's not really any evaluation errors we have to worry about.
