Some of my favorite early clips of Andy were those of him coaching the OL. That dude knows offensive line play, man. He gets right into the nuts and bolts of it; talks mechanics with those guys.
That's why its so crazy to see him go all 'ride or die' with Wylie and Reiter. He KNOWS those guys are bad. He's not Todd Haley out there just yelling "GIVE ME MORE PASS PLAYS" and trying out his Madden Playbook. He actually knows what he's looking at.
I just don't understand it.

I was presuming that the #1 was spent on Biadasz in that scenario; he's your 'young rookie C'.
And I would still JIMP if we got Kenneth Murray in the 1st.
It's just gonna be tough to address that OL absent spending FA money on it and I'm just not sure where to find it if you intend to bring back Jones or extend Mahomes.
I'm guessing Murray gets looked at as a luxury item and they'll just stick with Hitchens for another year while hoping they can get Ragland on a $3.5-$4 million AAV deal for 2 years. Then they go heavy on OL in the draft.
And fellas, our OTs aren't getting younger - that's gonna need significant attention in the near future as well.
We've neglected the fatties for too long. It's time to pay that tab.
