I would say you draft a tackle high in draft this year, see how he progresses next year plus does Williams stay healthy and perform well enough, then make a decision on a 2nd contract. 

The sucky part is that we don’t draft high and won’t as long as Joe burrow is our QB.

We’ll have to hit on a high mid pick to replace our LT or RT.

Our best option would be players we already drafted at those spots in the draft stepping up.

Who’s to say who will be available in the draft (where we pick) and how quickly they can contribute.

Definitely an argument for tackle but you can’t pick the position just to pick the position—like we did with our recent yearly string of tackle picks that haven’t panned out on the oline.

BPA is the way to do it. We could have an elite secondary with all the failed oline picks.
