Good. Definitely needed for depth, who knows he might even end up starting.
So as of today, our starting lineup would be Reiff, Elf, Jones, Kline, Oneil. Prolly about the same talent level going in last year
Sweet. Now we don't have to draft any O Lineman!

Frees us up to take a CB with our first pick.

I don't know why some think he is a potential starter... I think he's just a depth player. I mean the guy only started the first couple games until Elflein came back and then he never started again all season.
I think that means the Vikings viewed him strictly as a backup C. If you remember, he lost the camp competition at C in New York and that was why he was available for trade just prior to the season. He may not even make the final roster depending on what we do in the draft...

You are probably right. I was being as positive about the current state of our line as possible by valuing his starting ability over Isidora or an injured Collins, which i know doesn’t light much of a fire

currently its my understanding we dont even have enough bodies to fill the OL roster which by default makes him a pptential starter

Reiff, Collins, Elf, Kline, ONeill
Jones, Isidora, Edison, Hill, Norton thats a full roster right there, hell if they only keep 9 again (mistake!) they will have to cut somebody already. I would say Rickster is cleared to go BPA first 2 days for sure.
