OG: Nelson Fries Ekeyor Hambright French
OC: Kelly Pinter Shepley

They typically keep 9 OL, I could see it working:

OT: Raimann Smith Freeland Witt
OG: Nelson Fries Ekeyor
OC: Kelly Pinter

With Freeland being the first off the bench for any injury with a OG injury resulting in Braden sliding inside.

That would be banking way too much on Fries and Ekeyor (and not to mention Kelly and Pinter). After the absolute disaster that was the OL last year Ballard would be wise to bring in at least a serviceable vet at OG, and possibly OC as well. We have the cap space. Why not do right by out new QBs and insure they'll be protected better than our QBs were last year?

Also, in all likelihood Witt's not going to be ready anytime soon and will need a red shirt year. Depending on how much promise he shows that could be on the PS.
