We signed a new starter at LG, moved Lichensteiger to C, tried to sign Bruce Campbell but didn't after he failed the physical, and hosted several other Free Agent O-linemen. We didn't just sign Lavuao and say, "Okay, we're done with the O-line now! Next!" Also, don't forget that we have several young O-linemen on the roster who got very little playing time under Shanahan: Gettis, Compton, and LeRibeus. So to me, it seems like our FO is trying to address the position through Free Agency and developing the talent already on the roster, rather than drafting a bunch of OL and forcing the young undeveloped talent out.
Edit: And an obvious point that I didn't include, but decided to after all. Free Agency isn't over yet; there's still plenty of time and FAs left to improve the line.
