My hope was to acquire one T in FA. I have been complaining about the OL decisions since last training camp. I do believe that coaching was a a far bigger problem than talent. I'm not saying I think there are 5 all-pros there, but I do think that they could be a serviceable line. I see at least average potential in AJ, Deiter, Kindley, Hunt, and Jones, I don't see a future in Eich at T, but perhaps at G. And I have no idea what we have in Neto. I have been intrigued by his athleticism and the few snaps we've seen.
Obviously there's no guarantee that they will reach their potential. That'll come down to individual drive and coaching. Odds are that at least half won't. IMO Hunt and Deiter should be average or better in the expected system. (Hunt at RG or RT). I think Kindley could be too, if he's motivated enough. I thought it was a mistake to break-up the right side combo of Kindley and Hunt. They had good chemistry there. I still believe AJ has the talent to play LT, but last year set him back. I think he could become average LT, but would be below average this season. He could be serviceable, if protected, but I'd love a FA T upgrade there. If we had a veteran LT I'd feel comfortable with a young G like Eich next to him. I also think Jones is a guy we could be talking about "coming out of nowhere" this season.
