I would rather roll the dice with Blades and have that as a need next year if Blades doesn't pan out. We also could get a LB in round 3 that could compete but we would never get a starting RT in round 3.
I support that, not only Heyer has started but he also has shown the abilities to be good T; he just needs to take it up to next level.. But OT is rich in draft this year, we need to take advantage of it and grab a potentional future LT to take over when Samuels move over to RT, which probably would be in 2 years.. Beside, we managed to stay in top 5 defense with all the injuries.. I'm pretty sure, especially with additional of Haynesworth, we will do fine with Blades/Fincher or Wilson rotating from time to time..
