I really doubt he throws out a rookie at the center, RG and RT positions. Maybe Right Tackle, if Schwartz has to retire and maybe at Center, if they decide to move on from Reiter but I can't imagine a rookie center, rookie RG and rookie RT to begin the season.
And considering they'll need to restructure several contracts and cut some guys just to make the cap, the idea of any big time stud free agent offensive lineman is a pipe dream. If anything, it'll be more guys like Remmers. On the wrong side of 30 and on the down side of their career.

Reids track record would indicate you're right about a rookie starter, but there are always pro ready guys to be found in the 3rd (we both agree thats the sweet spot for O line)... so I'm hoping that guy can buck the trend
Then for my second guy, it would almost certainly have to be a FA vet, and if not that then technically Niang would be the second "new" starter
Of course I could be wrong, and we'll see how it plays out... but its hard to imagine them just standing pat with this collection of no names and retreads
