    Britt isn't powerful enough at LG to deal with the interior DL in the NFL.

    Okung has regressed since his 2nd year in the league...don't know if his legs / ankles are shot but that All-Pro season is far in the rearview mirror.

    At least the young guys on the Husky OL have flashed potential and have a chance to get much better as the season goes on while Okung will probably get hurt again, Britt won't get any stronger, and Nowak may get benched...not like Sweezy and Gilliam are lighting the NFL on fire either.

    The fact is, that is where Carrol and Schneider chose the OL as the place to not put money in.

    Except Justin Britt.
    Okung would be a better example.
    Fine. There are 2 out of 5 well paid OLs.
    2nd round picks aren't highly paid.
    How do you define "highly paid?" How many teams do you think have first-round draft pick salaries across all 5 positions?

    A 4 year 3.54 million is not a big contract. There is a reason why draft picks are so valuable. You can find quality players for cheap.

    I have to think that if the hawks didn't let Evan Mathis LEAVE without a contract and took a 7th round flier on La'el Collins, their offensive line would look about 100x better.
