The only notable players on that list are Brian Waters (who turns 36 next month) and Andy Levitre, who has played LG his entire career.

Yeah. That's really a problem. I REALLY wanted OG last year (with the money gained from cutting Turner and not signing Manuwai) as it was a pretty good year for FA OGs. I more was speaking of general preferences this year, as I haven't looked at the class. We've just drafted a lot of 3rd and 4th round OGs, and they haven't panned out (even though that's where you find them) so I'm all for a proven vet at the biggest weak spot on the team.

Trading a late rounder for an older OG is not a bad idea either. We just need a proven guy, but need to be able to bring in 3 or 4 offensive guys and 2 or 3 premium defensive guys, so it's hard to see how to do that without getting an OG prior to the draft.
