How is this not realized? Walker to LT is a given. Battle between Chambers, Bell and possibly Butler at RT. The interior of the line was the major problem.

I understand people being nervous about Walker, Chambers, Bell (I am a bit as well) but it was obvious after passing on OT in the first they were going this direction.

I accept that. There's also the fact that Levitre has played T before, and could do it again if he works on his technique.

I'm happy with the OL picks made.

There you go. Our line is not filled with smart versatile players that can play multiple positions.

Just because the Bills have plan doesn't mean it's not a need. The plan has to work.

Very true I am not guaranteeing anything but am fine with this direction.

I think I like our line for next year. I honestly think Walker will be solid at LT, and Chambers did OK when he was in last year, so if any of the other guys beat him out then we should be confident they'll do OK.

I was thinking that Cadogan couldn't have hurt with the last pick. Something must be up with him.

After Eugene Monroe was picked at #8, the LT pool took a huge drop & that included Michael Oher. Bills had OT's on the roster and had to figure out a plan.

The interior of the line didn't just need talent, they needed actual bodies. We purged away all the mess in Dockery,Fowler,Preston & Whittle. They just couldn't play and offered no upside. This was a crying need.

The interior was addressed with a couple of promising players.

Bell, Chambers or Butler may very well work out in the end, but as of right now, we only have one proven tackle. I don't think it would have hurt to bring in another, but I agree that we shored up the interior, which needing a lot of work. I just think its bold to say we don't need anyone else.

We totally needed those OL picks. While our line for next year might seem good on paper we need depth for the line and those rookies might actually play better than the vets we have. I'm not complaining about drafting for depth on either line.

Two rookies as starters on the o-line. Poor Trent.

If we don't pick up a veteran OT it's going to be a long season.

These new guys will hopefully be the answer to the O's 3-4 problems too. The defenses in our division are really strong right in the middle, so I think they made the right call by making that the top priority of the line.

Wilson said "get a bunch of DBs that I don't have to pay alot of money for". He meant douche bags but Brandon thought he meant defensive backs.

They way things are playing out, I think a stud LB is the greatest need.
