OL Preview
Present
Lets be honest its is hard to write a detailed OL preview about a team in a video game when there isn't any real stats for the position. Its even more tricky when you dont have a single rating for that position. But still we are going to give it the ol college try.

The group is headlined by a pair of former top 11 draft picks in LT Taylor Lewan and RG Chance Wormack. Both are still very young and improving but have failed to reach a pro bowl level. Bryon Bell was brought over from the Panthers after starting 54 games in 4 years. The LG will be Andy Levitre who has been a dispointment after signing a big deal in 2013. This is make or break year for Andy who will soon be 30 years old.

Another player in the mix who will likely start out as the top backup at OG and RT in Jeremiah Poutasi a 3rd round rookie from Utah. The Center job will be a battle with former Georgia Bulldog Fernando Valsco, former 4th round pick Brian Schwenke, and 6th round rookie Andy Gallik.

Overall this is a unit that's going to struggle this year and I don't expect anyone to have a rating over 85. So having a mobile QB and quick pass game could really out the OL.

Future
The future is much brighter for this unit compared to what the present is with Lewan 24 years old and Warmack 23. They should both be high quality starters for the next 5+ years. The other young guys we mentioned Schwenke is 24 years old. Poutasi is just a baby at 20 years old and the team would like for him to be a OG to pair with Wormack. Both of those two should develop into solid starters or at worst quality backups.

With a expected top 10 pick in the 2016 draft if your able to land a stud OT this unit has the makings of something really dangerous.

The Star - Taylor Lewan
The unknown - Jeremiah Poutasi
Start packing your bags - Andy Levitre
Priority - High but not a must
