No they dont. Its just that Staley is getting ancient, Tomlinson sucks and Garnett is a huge ???? that they shouldnt count on for anything.
Its like claiming that the Cardinals are set at QB for the future because Blaine Gabbert was an early 1st round pick.
AJ Jenkins was a 1st rounder too. Once the draft is over, draft status means diddly squat.
Right now outside of Brown, the entire OL is one giant weak spot.
