So any decent OL at any position signed traded or drafted will fit perfectly into our 'grand design'.
Right. If Cleveland moves to LT, the next G we sign or draft is going to immediately be penciled in as a starter. Maybe the next TWO guards. No battling it out in camp. No nothing. That's how bad things are.
As usual, Spielman is approaching the Oline with a wing and a prayer. That said, it seems like there's a "smart" way to approach the problem, namely, sign Eric Fisher to a 1 yr deal at LT, then draft Alijah Vera-Tucker at 14 and Ben Cleveland in the 3rd. If Fisher is fully recovered from his injury, then we're set at LT. We're also set at LG with AVT and Ben Cleveland provides quality backup at G. If Fisher isn't 100%, we start AVT at LT and slide Ben Cleveland in at LG. While plan B could go south as starting 2 rookies is a big risk, at least we'd still have the possibility of competing. Conversely, if plan A works out, we could actually field a decent oline and have some depth. Of course, every year folks on this board come up with completely viable options to address the oline, and every year the line is a dumpster fire....
This would be a smart plan. Which is why it wont happen.
Mike Zimmer likes his defensive backs. There is no way one of this top two picks isn't going to be a Safety.
Further, I seriously doubt we will be picking at 14, and we wont be moving up. RS will look to add a 2nd rounder and a handful of 7th rounders by trading down.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wilf stepped in and said you better get a second rounder to make up for losing 1+ rounds and a bunch of my money for the Yanny rental fiasco. And oh, if you give away the farm to recoup that second rounder then pack your bags.
Well, one can wish.
