That was a huge improvement over Jamie Nails with his surgery could not play at the same level, Smith will be more experienced. So that was an overall improvement for the line
Com'on now Nick. It either IS alot better or it's not! besides, there were tWO starters cut, not one, Ruddy and Perry. James replaces Wade in an sense and we signed 2, basically depth players, to replace the 2 we cut, one of whom may not ever play right again and kudos to RS for signing him to an extremely cap-friendly deal. So, realistically, we actually signed only one player to replace the 2 that were cut and along with the depth players we already have that couldn't beat out the ones that we cut. That's where we are at RIGHT now with the OL. IMO, that is not a recipe for an "overall improvement". Sorry, I just don't see it and that is why I feel it is imperative that we draft oL with our first pick.
