I'm just hoping for marginally acceptable adequate for the OL.

I can't argue with you on a conventional basis. I love K.J. Malone, but if he's our best OT and, perhaps, best OL going into the Fall, I can't say we have an elite, dominating OL.

On the other hand -

Talent aint there across the board folks.

This implies we don't have 5 or 6 starting SEC quality guys and we absolutely do - right now. Is some of that talent unproven? Certainly - especially with the loss of Teuhema. But, Malone, Clapp, Brumfield and Weathersby are all proven in my mind. The rest of the talent is raw, but I have to believe that - in 2017 - Cush, Savage, Campbell, Magee, Deculus, Ingram and Charles? There are 3 or 4 starters in that group - they just need a bit of experience.

Tell me where I'm wrong. (I'm not defending our depth there - there is almost no room for error - but suggesting we don't have talent in the position is negatigerism, IMHO. And we don't even know how the demands of the position will change under Canada yet.)
