Both Hunt and Kindley may very well develop into long-term starters. Hell, the 'book' on first year linemen is that they generally suck. Look at Andrew Thomas for a moment; he was considered to be a slam-dunk, immediate starter, and well... he's really struggled. Like... REALLY struggled. This isn't the outlier, this is the trend.
Our Guards had been a major issue for a decade... so we brought in three of them (Flowers, Hunt, Kindley), and our Guard play has greatly improved. Sure... it isn't playoff worthy yet, but it's a lot better... and considering that both Hunt and Kindley have been nicked up the past few weeks, their slight decline makes sense.
These two will only get better, and Flowers has been pretty good most of the time. Hell, I'll take that for now. Once we bring in a quality Right Tackle and give these guys a full off and pre season, I think we'll be ready to roll.
Just remember, the jewel of this line draft was Austin Jackson, 21 year old Austin Jackson... who has been out-playing the aforementioned Andrew Thomas. Hunt and Kindley were lesser prospects... less athletic... more in need of weight room and more reps.
To try to write these guys off is ludicrous. Just completely nuts... Are you gonna cut Andrew Thomas too? Don't be foolish.
