He can play almost all positions along the line, he hasn't missed a game in four or five years, he's only 27-28 years old. I understand that's not exactly young, but compared to what we have he's a baby.

This.

Grab a very solid offensive lineman in free agency, just not one of the top end ones because they will be too expensive.

After that we can draft an o lineman in the first. I say trade down a bit and get this Mack guy that everyone around here seems to love.

That adds two very solid pieces to the oline and that makes us much better overall IMO.
