Which drop off are you willing to accept more?

Dozier and Turner are both potential starters. I wouldn't be comfortable giving them the starting spot in Year One.
I'm also not comfortable giving S'ua Filo the starting spot in Year One. I've seen this ****ing song and dance before when it comes to the "safe" picks we draft in the first round.
Eric Fisher, Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey, Ryan Sims, John Tait, Victor Reilly...
Newsflash: Those guys weren't "safe" players at all in their rookie seasons. Quite the opposite, actually. They all sucked dick as first-year starters
**** the future of the offensive line. We can get guys for the future in Dozier and Turner. What we worry about right now is THIS YEAR. 2014. Who's going to not look like Eric Fisher out there?
S'ua Filo is just as much an unknown in that department as Rishaw Johnson. No difference.
