I don't mind the signing of Lilja at all.
After the bloodbath that ensued because of the offensive line last season, you had to expect changes. Personally, I'm glad Pioli's going out and picking up offensive linemen like Lilja and Wiegmann. They might not be the gamebreakers or key signings that everyone is pining for, but you have to at least be happy they're actively attempting to fix the problem instead of sitting on their hands and hoping a last minute trade will cure what ails them.
Is this a signing that will improve us to the point of Super Bowl contention or a contender for years to come? No, but it's a small piece that will hopefully ensure the offense doesn't shit it's pants whenever they hit the field.
