peter skoronski had a borderline all pro level season and is one of the best young guards in the nfl. kevin zeitler was a solid veteran guard on the other side. both graded out as top 10 interior offensive linemen per PFF but more importantly it was pretty obvious on the field that our guard play was good. it’s part of why we had success running gap scheme.
both tackles had a rough start to the year, latham especially because he was dealing with an injury, but both settled in as the year went on. neither are anything more than average. you hope to replace dan moore with a franchise LT at some point but until then he’s not an active liability. latham you hope develops as a young, talented player but again, he’s more middling than he is outright bad. neither of those guys warrant further investment of a top 5 pick at tackle, especially in a draft without an absolute home run tackle prospect. center was easily our worst position, as lloyd cushenberry was pretty bad all year- part of why he was cut this offseason. we have some work to do there, but quality interior offensive linemen are very often found in the mid-late rounds.
