Give him the extension then draft a tackle in round 3/4 to learn behind moton.

I fixed the problem now and in the future.

Moton is only 30. Do we really need to plan for his succession? Trent Williams was 1st team all pro at OT last year at 35 years old. I would definitely give him a 3 year extension through his age 35 season. At worst, if he slows down or his body becomes too banged up, you can cut ties a couple years early after most of the guarantees have passed. Even then, you don't need to start prepping his succession till 2027. Our 3rd and 4th this year should probably aim to net us defensive starters, e.g. LB, DT, safety, (nickle) CB.

Trent Williams is an outlier.  The vast majority of the all pro tackles are in their 20s.

    • well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying 
    • All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO. 
    • I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
