So you're talking about a "good" offensive line consisting of: a late first-round rookie who has never played an NFL snap, Dotson (who is already being overrated by you and almost everyone else), Finney (whom I liked as a good backup but will now be a full-time starter after being cut by the Bengals), DeCastro (who is clearly not as good as he used to be), and the winner of a Who-can-be-just-about-average-instead-of-below-average Contest.why not? 1st round LT, Dotson, Finley, Decastro, and winner of Chukes vs Banner contest. That right there is a better OL than half the league. Depth? You have to be joking. Go find me the team that has a good OL and also has quality depth behind it? You won’t find many.
Besides, if they draft a starting OT then the loser of Chukes vs Banner is a good backup. A better backup OT than most teams have. They signed Joe Haeg as a backup and probably TE in run situations. They may draft a G/C to compete with Finney. That would give them depth on the interior. They may still sign a cheap G for depth.
Nobody is exalting Highsmith. Just pointing out that right now he is a solid player. He may develop into a great player but even if he just stays at this level, he’s a solid starter. They do need depth there but again, how many teams have quality pass rush depth?
The offseason is not over yet.
I think it's you who has to be joking.
One sack in six games as a starter at OLB for the Steelers with TJ Watt on the other side is not "solid" production. Are you joking again?
