I think back injuries in 300 lb. guys around 30 years old aren't likely to get better.
I think we have THE generational QB, and would like to keep him upright and throwing bombs to Hill for the next several years and hoisting Lombardis.
So, I think while there's nothing we can really do about the offensive line right NOW, I think it's time to probably place a little higher priority than we typically do on the line this offseason.
I don't see why that's controversial. I mean how can you really argue against that?

It really depends on how much you want to spend. We have two of our top 4 WR's that won't have contracts after this year. We need depth at TE potentially. Depending on Williams' status, they may need another RB. They have a SIGNIFICANT need at DE opposite Clark and they'd be wise to start looking at investing in possibly cutting him loose after 2021 if his play doesn't improve. They have need at LB and potential need at CB with guys coming off contracts.
The cap is not going up. In fact, it appears that it's probably going DOWN next year. This team wasn't going to have much cap space to begin with, now they'll probably have to cut just to get under.
You can't just take 3 or 4 offensive linemen in the draft. They have too many needs. Taking 1 or 2 is fine. Any more than that means another area doesn't get addressed at all and guess what happens then?
Yeah, 40 million threads about that position group sucking because "****ing Veach didn't do anything".
