Could we swing a trade with Dallas or perhaps Tennessee for some like in kind OL talent?

Not likely to happen but it certainly merits discussion.
I would like to give our OL guys a little more time to gel once RR is back to full go.

Definitely a long shot to happen...I'd just hate to see one of these young DLmen end up on another roster...man, we need a clone of coach Dre for the OL...

I would say surplus of DE talent...
One cut-down day this year. Going to be crazy and there could be a good pick-up by the Vikes for someone that's not even on the radar yet.

If not for OL help, how about for DB depth?

I think we have a bigger problem in the secondary

Funny how certain teams at certain times just cant draft or sign well specific areas of the team. We just cannot catch a break at O-line in the draft or FA. What I mean by catching a break is finding a diamond in the rough in later rounds or an unknown in FA. We are very good at recognizing d-line talent but o-line forget it.
