Time to trade for a LT

[Khyber53]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but here goes:

LT is not our big concern right now.

I’d trade for a guard before a tackle. Erving has been fine. Guard depth is poor.

Our interior line is a big problem…it’s gonna show itself

It's too soon for a rebuilding team to be thinking like that.  We are not one player away for a run nor will that get you sustained success with a young team thin on talent and depth.

Let them continue to build that wall while destroying the hopes of these playoff wannabes and pretenders. 

Winter is coming. 

Agreed. This is "one year" thinking.

With Marty gone, that kind of mindset should be out as well.

smh...no. we have a Kid (man) in Brady who needs a shot first.

Just go to the left tackle store. 

I bet we can get one delivered by this weekend from Amazon.

This "one player away" thinking is what got the last GM fired (twice).

TBH its the interior that's worse. Cam Erving has actually not been horrible. Miller Daley, and Elflein have been straight poo in run blocking.

Running behind Miller and Moton has been fine, I don't even recall Miller's name being brought up, it's the LG position that was PITIFUL. 

Almost every run off the LG was stuffed, I'd like to see Brown there, stop the ''versatility'' talk and put in a road grader at that spot.

Make sure we get the extended warranty in case of defectiveness.   Too bad we can't return Elflein, definitely a manufacturer's lemon.

Maybe it's just me, I would rather trade our next 2 1sts and a 2nd and know LT is fixed then worry about drafting a damn rookie. 

 

Pray tell me what team would be willing to trade a great LT and also the name of said LT.

Checked. Available but not Prime. 3-4 weeks delivery.

About the only viable scenario I could have seen was a trade for Duane Brown before that situation got resolved.

But it did, so it's kinda hard to imagine now.

Old man Duane brown? Hard pass all summer. Leno being available and for cheap was one a lot of fans will point to. Not that I think Erving has not done well over, but having Leno at LT and Erving at guard likely is a better all around unit.

Brown has been one of the better left tackles in the league and is still pretty good. Leno was never that great and is pretty bad at this point.

Plus with Brown, you have the added advantages of Fitterer not only having a connection to him but also one to the people with whom he'd be negotiating.

With that said though, Brown would have been a two-year stopgap while we tried to find our left tackle of the future.

But obviously, all that is now water under the bridge.
