Great quote...Joe Berger hangs up cleats after 13 seasons

RG Joe Berger announced his retirement after 13 NFL seasons.
Berger reportedly had a few standing offers but made a statement on Twitter announcing his retirement Friday morning. "I was on some great teams before the Vikings, but it wasn't until I got to Minnesota that I really felt at home," the 13-year vet wrote. Minnesota is where Berger played 7 of his 13 seasons and made 68 of his 88 career starts. He remained a catalyst on the team's interior line throughout it's constant turnover.

If he'd have kept playing, would he have remained our starter? Or were we looking to go another direction?

What I'm asking, is whether or not this changes how we draft. Personally I think we - of course - do BPA but we slant our thinking slightly towards our offensive line. Teams with solid lines that can protect their QB are the teams that go far. We're so close and I'd hate for this unit to be a weakness again this year.
