Chris Williams was a joke, Incog saved this front office a lot of ridicule. Miller seems to be a decent value at a 3rd but the only time he looked good was in OTA's in shorts and a t-shirt. sad, but true

Levitre? he's flopped out a little bit. before that was rueben brown? is drafted a *quality* OG harder than drafting a QB? It is if you think you can find them in the later rounds. The team has to actually acknowledge they would be willing to spend a first round pick on an OG like the Bills did when they drafted Ruben Brown. Levitre was a second round pick and then not even the first second round pick that year. LT Cordy Glenn was a second rounder and looking back the Bills were exceedingly lucky to find him in the 2nd and that might be because some teams projected him at OG. So, this team drafting so few QB's with first round picks over the last 30 years is a big reason why they haven't found another Jim kelly too.

Things look to be changing at OBD with the thinking about the O-line mostly because this team in the past would have never tagged Glenn for 13.706 mill! The real problem is they are quibbling over a few mill for Richie who is on his last contract. Now here is the rub! Should the team fail to sign Incognito (and it sure looks that way as of now) both Wood and Glenn will probably revert back to their 2013-2014 play and should that happen then neither player will be worth anywhere near what they are being paid. The past regimes thinking that OG's are a dime a dozen, you can move any OT to OG and be successful, you can find interior O-linemen in the later rounds. Those regimes didn't realize that a quality OG will make the players on both sides look better. Which is probably why recently no RT has looked to be worth a damn.The old saying that no man is an island is fitting because those young OT's have difficulty playing with "not so good" play from the RG's next to them. The really sad thing is that even now after watching first hand what a quality OG will do for a team and yet they are still balking at paying Incognito what he is worth.

YoloinOhio Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 @rand_getlin I'm told OL Kraig Urbik has agreed to terms with the #Dolphins.
Pete Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 we need a guard who can also back up Wood Look for one early oline pick IMO

I would be surprised to see them take a OG taken early this year unless there was tremendous value. Edited March 22, 2016 by YoloinOhio
boyst Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 he's a solid player. good for him. wish we'd have kept him. doomed.
billsfan89 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 A good backup but a bit costly at our current cap situation. Such a good find by Nix in his first year, turned in some quality starts. I suspect that the team will draft O-line in the mid rounds and scour the veteran markets as free agency closes out and for June cuts. I am comfortable with InCog and Miller at guard but the depth behind them isn't very good.

Mark Vader Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 And I was thinking he would be re-united with Doug Marrone in Jacksonville.
