Totally agree.
I think of Jack Mewhort (post-injury) as a younger version of Austin Howard.
Howard is an average to low-end starter in the NFL. A guy who can "get you by" for a year but one that you hope to upgrade on in the off-season. He is of NFL starter quality but not one that ever knocks your socks off.
Mewhort, until he proves otherwise, is in the same boat in my mind. I think he is a GREAT insurance policy (just like Haeg and Good) but I don't want him starting because I don't think he can be superior anymore.
And I think both Nelson and Smith have the potential to be superior.
That said, we are good for 2018 but will then either need to invest some picks in O-Linemen to keep that train rolling in 2019 or re-sign Mewhort and/or an OT.
