Then get a RT on Day 2 to compete with Carman for RT snaps while Collins recovers.
Alternatively, you can go Darnell Wright in Rd 1 and then look for a TE on Day 2, but you run more risk of not being able to get a TE who can't start as well the longer you wait.
There's also CB to worry about though, as there's no great CB4 on the roster and Awuzie is in recovery. It'd be real nice to have an early-round pick at CB who can be groomed at CB4 but also give hope of playing well if they had to fill in due to any injury.
If we do not get a RT in the first round all the good ones will be gone by our second pick. Then we will be going with Williams/Carman/Cody Ford/Collins at RT which none I would be happy with. The first three are rolls of the dice Williams being the most likely one to work, but he does not want to switch to RT. So is he really going to care if a team that just replaced him at LT wins games as long as he looks good enough to prove to the rest of the NFL he can stay healthy enough to start at LT. Collins is injured now and could look worse when he comes back is rest going to fix back issues that keep him from taking steps back to engage the speed rush around the outside.
