Didn't Jenkins play his best at LG? With him and Rankin on the left side, we got a lot better on the Oline. Rankin has even been mentioned as a possible All SEC type LT (probably 2nd or 3rd team) and getting drafted mid to early rounds. I would think if Reese is capable of holding down RT then it would be the best thing to keep the Left side intact. Story has experience at Guard so you would only be breaking in 2 brand new starters with Calhoun having experience just not at Center. Jenkins also has starting experience at RT so either way it is a puzzle for Hev to put together. He has some decent pieces but not having the whole line going thru spring sucks. Makes our typical tough stretch of taking the first few months to gel on the Oline.

We really just need two new OL to be good for this to avoid being the weakest position group (ignoring injuries and depth). If say Williams and Reese are both as good or better than Calhoun, then we are actually pretty solid for OL starters, whereas our wide receivers are probably the weakest they've been since 2013. A mediocre OL is just harder to overcome than a mediocre receiving corp.

Don't know why **** but skill players always look pretty darn good behind a bunch of studs on the OL. Especially in college.
