Isn't the whole draft based on the concept of hope? We're simply not in position to invest a high draft pick in another tackle this early in the process. On top of that the only comparable outside option at Tackle is Ryan Harris who would come on board with injury concerns of his own. Plus theres a good chance Harris stays in Denver when they bring on Kubiack to coach the team.
So in the end we're stuck between trying to take a shot on a late round gem or downgrading through free agency.

I wouldn't call the Brown signing a success.
He came in w/ injury concerns that were valid b/c he was injured.
He played in 13 games and either didn't finish or split timw w/ Stephon Heyer (yes Stephon Heyer) in about half or more of those starts.
Having a top tackle tandem and gambling on the health of 30 y/o player coming off 2i njury plagued season doen't mesh imo.
Imo if you want 2 pro-bowl caliber OTs then Jamaal Brown shouldn't be relied on as the other bookend.

I never called the Brown signing a success. It's actually been a disaster for most of the year. However you can see the difference in play as the season has gone on. I mean this is an injury that has somehow gotten healthier during the season. I can only imagine how much better it will get during the offseason.

The focus has to be on upgrading the entire OL.
When did FS become a need?

Since the revolving door was put in place this year. Doughty and Horton are good SS options but both as predicted have struggled at FS as has Moore.
