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).
I wouldn’t pass up a stud RT bc of who we currently have. Jonah isn’t proven, Collins hurt, rest we know aren’t good enough.
We can draft one and figure out the rest later. We’re not keeping Jonah next gear anyways so who plays RT next year? I’m not saying we have to draft RT, but if he’s best available player- go for it. RT is a more important position than TE, RB, maybe even CB. We had a great D last year with Eli Apple starting. We now have Chido and CTB.
I keep going back to, if we had this position upgraded- do we beat the rams or cheifs? I can say yes to RT and maybe DE. No other position do I personally say that.
