...but i think the bigger issues are what we do to reinforce the aging o-line and our LB corp now. Injuries to our o-line are just guaranteed at this point, not in question. We need legit starting talent for backup (probably not a 3rd draft choice), so IMO the FO would be wise to pay a guy like Levi Jones to come over...he should be available soon. This will tell me the FO is serious about giving JC and the offense an opportunity to play consistent football. AT LB Hill will probably cost too much but man if we can find a way to make it work our d will be lights out!!! We'd probably have to cut either Daniels or Wynn (can't cut both) and Rock, which means we need to draft his replacement. Otherwise it's pretty imperative Marcus is brought back on board, which personally gives me great hope.

You are correct - there is not a strong chance that a 3rd rounder would be an instant starter at OT. You are always wisely pointing out the Levi Jones scenario. I would add that the Jags may be willing to release Tony Pashos now that they have stocked up at OT.

The Titans got Gerald McRath. This makes me sad. I've seen him play a lot and I thought he might be a good pickup for us.

Nice dig...we should be able to grab one of these talented vets w/o breaking the bank...man I hope the FO is thinking this way.
