I guess this doesn't surprise me. It has been viewed by many that next to QB left Tackle is the most important position on offense. Some say center because of the blocking calls but look at where centers are drafted compared to the other offensive line positions--pretty low. Skill players such as RB and WR are certainly impact guys but many would say RB has such a short life expectancy in the league that a franchise LT is worth much more. I guess a game changing WR such as J Jones, Owens, Moss, et al might be more important than LT.
As for V; it takes a team. One player doesn't win you the Lombardi. I'd also add that Doug & Co gave him help quite often last year. With that said, V stepped up last year and played well. He wasn't the only one. Kelce did also when many said prior to the season that Kelce was just an ok center and too small and got run over at center.
Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP

I just feel that you can get by with average lineman if you have superior skill people on offense. If you have stiffs up front your done though.
