One of the best results going forward for this team is that Good (or Haeg) seize the right OT slot and make it their own in 2018 as an above average right OT.
This means that the starting O-Line of 'Stanzo / Nelson / Kelly / Smith / Good (or Haeg) is set for 2019 after Ballard would sign Good (or Haeg) to a veteran contract at the end of the season with some of our $16.5m that we should spend by the end of the year.
If that happens, you are then only looking for quality depth to replace the 1 year contracts of Slauson, Mewhort and Howard in 2019. Signing quality depth is a whole lot easier (and cheaper) than signing a veteran starting right OT.
I want Ballard to fix the O-Line LONG TERM and not just for one season. We need to be drafting an O-Lineman in the top 4 rounds of the draft EVERY YEAR in order to protect Luck and fuel the running game. Every year.
