    Kelly has been in those Jumbo packages where he is lined up as a TE.

    Ah ok, I didn't realize they had him out there as an extra ol. At least they're using him, because I still don't care for that trade.

    I'm not saying just give it to him but Tretola had a good camp and a good preseason and will be in his second year under a good OL coach in Russ Grimm. Klien is also playing well right now and we have him under contract in 2017 so I think that we will let them fight for the RG spot in training camp.

    If we draft anyone for the OL it will be somebody that can backup Jones at OC and give us some OG depth in the forth round.

    That made me look. I never considered who backed up Jones. It's Schwenke. Tretola backs up the guards.

    Schwenke is FA at the end of the season and likely walking to get more playing time elsewhere. Jones was our big ticket in FA last year and will be getting 90% of snaps. Just draft a backup C late or sign a cheap FA, not really a concern.

    We have Kelly as excellent backup to Lewan and Conklin.

    We have Kline holding down RG and Spain at LG. Bell probably walks this summer, Tretola as backup for both guards.

    Need one more G/T backup, in my opinion, to go with a backup C. Don't really need any starters on the OL. We already have a luxury in Kelly who would start on most teams, IMO.

    Priorities this summer for me are two WRs, two CBs, a safety, and a middle linebacker.

    Since you are kinda new, don't know if you read the original posts about Kelly. He was supposed to be a good run blocker, but really bad in pass protection. The fact the Eagles knew they were losing a RT and still traded him made me believe they were right, but haven't seen him put in that position yet. Notice he's only in for runs. Maybe Grimm works him up better. But his height makes him a duck for someone to get under his pads and get around the corner. I would be concerned if either of our tackles were out with an injury.

    OL definitely not a priority for me either. Heck, re-sign Schwenke & Bell to team friendly deals and call it a day.

    Focus on WR, CB & ILB
