The main takeaway here is this: It's pretty much a complete, comprehensive, top-to-bottom rebuild of the offensive line, and that takes time, and that take lots and lots and lots of OL recruits... especially when you factor in the ~10-12% attrition rate, which is really more like 15-20% for players along the OL.

Five OL recruits in every class, and quantity trumps quality. No reason we can't have both! But if you're asking me, I'd rather get two low-3s than one 4-star. For example.
