Since we only usually keep 4 we're already going to have to cut/trade 3. Picking another OT high makes those numbers 8 and 4 respectively. So the only way I see us taking another Tackle is if we have a Jonah deal set up.
Help me spread the gospel on this. I mean, if Collins is PUP it is down to 6. Even if Ford/Carman/Adeniji/Smith win the open OG4 spot, we are still at 5. If Wright falls into our lap (unlikely) we could do a Jonah trade Thursday night, but everyone knows we HAVE to offload at that point. Unless we get a team really desperate for an OT, we won't have leverage.
If we take an OT, it needs to be a plug & play starter, which likely means Rd1 or mid 2nd. 60 probably too late. We are full up on backup level OTs, and we have other areas where a 2nd/3rd/4th rounder coukd land a guy who will play kore & contribute (TE1/2, RB2, CB4, WR depth, rotational D line).
