Time we traded in Williams for a better Williams

That's definitely the direction I hope they go in regards to the guard position. But with tackles, it's not too common that really good tackles hit the open market. They're similar to QBs in that regard. If you have an impact LT, chances are you're re-signing them. If there is one available, it's usually age, injury history or a team dispute that allowed them onto the market.

Terron Armstead is a good example of a guy who may be available that I hope we take a long look at. The question is will Armstead be willing to play RT.

You can also take a flyer on players like Duane Brown, Charles Leno Jr or Eric Fisher, but I'm not certain they'd be upgrades over Williams at LT. Maybe they could man RT? But then are they better than Reiff? I'm not sure. 

I'd really love to have a shutdown LT, but those are definitely hard to find.
