I don't see them neglecting a historically bad defense in favor of a guard/RT. because the o-line was adequate last year, that will encourage Jerry to ignore it for the first three rounds, imo.
Well Jerry is sticking with Tony to the bitter end, so the point is moot. If and when we do start over, I think we can do better than Cousins.
I don't consider TEs like Bennett or Fasano "backups" since they see a lot of playing time regardless.
