We still need help on the O line. Houck has done a great job, but there are still weaknesses.

First, I feel like the Tackles are fine. DMac and Carey are not giving up the sacks with perimeter rushes and Alabi may turn out to be a great prospect.

Center is a glaring weakness. I would love to see us get a Bentley or Mawae at this position that has experience. I prefer Mawae because it weakens a divisional team and his ability to pull on running plays is phenomenal.

Hadnot is doing fine at RG, which leaves the LG position as my next concern.

Jeno James is by far not a bad player. I think he does a good job, but with R and R we need another run blocking, hole opening machine at this position. Maybe Hutchinson from Seatle or a Draft pick, but obviously Hutch would be an upgrade.

This would leave us with a line of DMac/ Alabi (if he develops), Hutchinson, Mawae, Hadnot, Carey.

That will take pressure off out new QB and give R and R room to run wild.
 
Yup, we need help. You know what I realized is that Jeno James is an absolute terror when he's pulling. He buries whoever he's set on.

I'd take a sniff at Jon Runyan to play RT, maybe move Vernon Carey back over to LT...get a RG through the draft. I'd leave it up to Houck to decide if he wants/needs some of the premium tackles available in this class.
 
I disagree. Jeno James is fine at LG. Where we need help at is center & RG, that's the weakness. Hutchinson would be great & then draft a center, it's a good year for centers in the draft.

So Rex Hadnot gets tossed away?
 
I am starting to like the idea of moving Hadnot to center and picking up a guard in free agency.

CK-

What do you think is the weakest part of the O-line right now?

Is Hadnot a better RG or Center?

Yes, I think both he & McKinney are the problem. Let Hadnot compete for the center job, maybe he'll be more disciplined there.
