I Still Want To Draft Bowers.........

It would help neutralize the pass rush of the 3-4 that we play at least 6 times a year and help out whoever our right tackle is. Hoping we sign one of the big name right tackles but I think having Bowers and Gesicki would also help if we lose Higgins, which seems likely.

Very unlikely and unsound to draft Bower over a Right tackle since looks like we have no long term RT coming in FA and especially with the quality of right tackles in draft, we can;t pass on the hopeful future RT over the next 10 years. It won;t matter much if you have Bower to throw to if Burrow is sacked, rushed etc... Also if we lose higgins now, it means we traded him so really need a true WR in draft with hopeful extra 1 or 2 pick...
