Re: The Case For...

This is a great year to draft an OT, but I'm leaning towards passing on one of the big four (or five, depending on your point of view) and going after either Vernon Carey or Khalif Barnes in free agency.

Barnes is probably more talented overall, but he has lots of question marks in terms of his maturity. I'd probably lean toward Carey. He can play almost all positions along the line, he hasn't missed a game in four or five years, he's only 27-28 years old. I understand that's not exactly young, but compared to what we have he's a baby.

I think if we can sign either one of them, it gives us some flexibility to trade down and not worry so much about getting an elite OT, but we could still get someone like a Britton or Duke Robinson later in the first to help our line out.
