I agree we are and should be looking Tackle at #19... But I'm starting to fear we can't find an immediate starting LT at that spot. Only a few guys I think can come right in and be a starter in this draft. So getting a FA that can start if needed should be priority in my opinion. We can't go into the draft HAVING to find a starter at LT. 

It is asking a lot.  Please don't put Forsythe out there.  If so, I am buying life insurance for Bryce and making myself the beneficiary.

We have nobody on our roster right now that should be starting at LT..

there isn’t a legit backup either. But we’ll be better at TE and nickel.

I think they might trade up if they can, if they fall in love with one guy, but if you are OK with Lomu and Proctor (I am), then if Freeling is gone, I sit and wait.  If we trade up, we likely lose our Will ILB or Center of the future.

I don’t see ‘that guy’ coming out of these options. It is gonna be a struggle. But knowing we can shuffle them over to the right side is a relief and probably justifies the investment. 
 

I hate giving up a chance to take a two contract player at ILB but we are just up against it.

Having Christensen back is very important, IMO. He's one of the most versatile OL in the league that can actually play at a decent level.

Remember the days when Rhule said said his arms were too short to play LT? Ah the buffoon that Rhule was.
