Key loss: Will Hernandez

Key addition: Mark Glowinski

All things considered, Will Hernandez in the second-round ranks highly on the most disappointing draft picks of the colossally disappointing Dave Gettleman era.

Not only did Hernandez seemingly regress each year since his mediocre rookie campaign but he quickly fell out of favor with Joe Judge’s coaching staff, en route to becoming a part-time player over the past two seasons.

Despite Gettleman vowing to make fixing the offensive line his top priority during his introductory press conference in 2018, Schoen is tasked with replacing as many as four starters up front.

Hernandez was the first to be replaced.

Enter, Glowinski, an eight-year veteran who has experience playing along the Colts’ offensive line, one of the NFL’s most consistently excellent groups.

Last season, Glowinski allowed only two sacks but 38 quarterback pressures.

By comparison, Hernandez surrendered seven sacks but 36 pressures.

So, as would be expected given the cap constraints left behind by Gettleman, Glowinski is a modest upgrade over Hernandez, at best.

Verdict: Better … Marginally
