I think he should be in the conversation for starting on this offensive line but only as a possibility. In an ideal world, we sign Joe Thuney, draft Penei Sewell and then, depending on the rest of the draft, Jonah Williams may be the LT, RT or the LG. IF we draft Sewell in the first and then another tackle in the 2nd, for example, then our line could be Sewell - Williams - Hopkins - Thuney - 2nd round rookie. At this point, Spain would be just a back up. But that all depends on the off season.

But for now I'll say yes with a very large asterisk next to it.

We are so unlikely to sign Thuney. I just can't see us giving a Guard $15 million a year.

The funny thing is we let Zeitler go. There he is graded at 75.2 this year at age 30. The money we saved on him, what did we spend it on? All out of the principal that a Guard isn't worth that much.

In a lot of ways I get letting Whitworth go as guys that are 34/35 at Tackle fall off a cliff. But Zeitler was in his prime.
