I know some people say start him at G, but with his potential, any plan that doesn't involve moving him to LT at some point seems like a waste to me. I would probably start him at LT and work out the kinks as soon as possible with Williams moving to RT.

I still think the way to build the line would be to trade down to acquire picks and pick up an true OG since that's where the real problems on the line are.

Actually, I am in favor of Sewell beginning his career at Guard.  Simply because it allows the team to put the best 5 on the field.  Also, after a year off of football, easing a young player in at a limited role is a good way to get him NFL experience, as well as be ready and in shape should an injury occur to one of the current Tackles.

Don't get me wrong, the interior of the OL certainly needs attention as well.  I'd also like to see a top Guard taken, in either the 2nd or 3rd round as well.  Would be a bonus if that player is also comfortable at Center.  We don't know what Hopkins will look like post injury, and Price seems like he's on his last chance to prove worth being retained.

I know to some it sounds like overkill, but to me it is what needs to be done.  I've always subscribed to the philosophy that the way to build a football team is from the inside out.  On offense that means OL and QB before skill players.  On Defense it's having strong DTs, LBs and Safetys.
