Excellent.
Frees up the draft so we don't have to pick an OL's, or worry about Scherff's extension.

I figure they'll still grab one maybe two OL, at least I hope they do. Christian may turn out to be a dud, and that unit has been shithammered with injuries. Like to see a versatile interior and an exterior lineman picked before the week's over. If there's a gem UDFA that would be fantastic too.

Bergstrom is OK as backup at center but is overmatched at guard. We still need an OG.

Agreed -it would be nice if Geron Christian comes in and makes a contribution.

Too many #2 and #3 picks that fail to develop.
