Maybe some are a bit long in the tooth but so are Zach Thomas, Engram, Vrabel, etc.
I think Clark Hunt really has a lot more responsibility in all this then people think. Ever since he took over things have gone to hell in a handbasket and inconsistencies in the overall theme of whats going on with personnel and direction of the club (younger? older?)have become the order of the day.

The FA OL class was garbage as usual. You have to score OLs from the Draft, even the "undrafted" portion of the Draft.
I really cannot believe that Clark Hunt is the one who wanted to trade for Cassel, to switch to a 3-4, and to ignore OL until Round 5. That was Pioli, who didn't come cheap himself.
Quality OLs in this Draft that Pioli failed to score:
Round
1. Monroe = DUH
5. Jamon Meredith
undrafted
Harris - tryout players do not get credited to the GM, who would have offered them an actual contract if said GM had any clue they were good at all
Edwin Williams
CJ Davis - likely a cut by Carolina because he has missed about four weeks with an ankle sprain
The "setting him up to fail" comment above is accurate.
