Another Canadian OL in Gallant. Experience at RG and C. Two more import OL as well.

Cooley sounds like a player but he'll be a PR player possibly. If he can be a return player he might see duty if we have injuries there.

I hope Costello has a Oline guest coach this year, he's got a lot of beef to grade.

Boy, a lot of sub-300 OL being signed/drafted lately.  Whenever I see sub-300, I think "undersized", except maybe at C.  But maybe I'm mistaken.
