Agreed.

If it were in my power, I would:

1. Cut Ryan Kelly saving $7.8m in cap space
2. Sign free agent OG Ben Powers or Dalton Risner to play right OG.
3. Draft best available OC with the #36 draft pick

Starters - Raimann, Nelson, Rookie, Free Agent, Smith
Depth - French, Fries, Pinter

Still need a swing depth OT in free agency (or two with a lower round draft pick) but, hopefully, that would be enought talent to get a good O-line back online.

All this after, of course, drafting the best available QB with pick #4.
