I see your point, despite that Kelly was a contributor from day 1 and it resulted in a marked improvement in the OL (nowhere to go but up, but still...)
OL is the very top priority. We should fix it through the draft
and through FA until we have quality starters at every position and quality depth behind them. Everything else has to wait. The quality we have had at the QB position has covered up an OL that is 2-3 years behind in development. It's inexcusable, embarrassing, and obvious.
