This is probably the least sexy, but best overall team option.  I can't help but think that Fisher has earned the spot at RT.  What if you get Elflein in the second (likely high second through the AJM trade, thanks Burma) but used that first rounder on the plug-and-play RDE spot.  It seems almost certain that Derek Barnett would be there.  The defense has done well, but STILL can't do anything against a team that goes maximum protection.  They need guys that can get after the QB.  

If Whit is re-signed, and you have Fisher for RT, a third rounder could be used to develop as the replacement for Whit as a backup plan to Ced remaining a turd.  

For the OP, you have certainly painted a very realistic portrait of the lack of patience from this fan base.  I don't think it is just Ced, but the fact that it was Dre, then Dennard, then WJII, that have done nothing as rookies...fair or unfair, injuries notwithstanding, this fanbase is sick of first rounders not contributing at all.  It is more just human nature.
