... and what do you think of him for RT?

I think he can handle the position. He's not an ideal solution, but he's young and won't embarrass himself and his family out there. Baby steps.

It would at least allow us to go with a defensive stud in the first round if we got him, but it wouldn't fix the interior OL problems that haunted us last year (obviously).

Maybe I'm being optimistic but I don't foresee the interior collapse again. Dock is an upgrade and unless Thomas' injury is really more serious than we've been led to believe I think he fights back very hard. Also, if we do add OT talent then Jansen should be moved inside and again I think he's a fighter... limited physically in his lateral movement but just a tough SOB who will rebound on the interior for as long as he can stay healthy.
