With Trent Brown being injury prone and older, my expectations is that he will not last the entire 2024 season. And he's gone after 2024.
Expect the best, but plan for the worst
So the plan should be for the OT - hopefully specifically a RIGHT tackle - they absolutely need to draft at 18 or 49 will be the starter at ORT by the end of 2024 at the latest
and of course, that player would then (optimally) be handed the starter spot at ORT in 2025, with the 1 year rental Trent Brown moving on
As such, I dont want this new OT working at OG, and most especially not at OLG
If all goes well, this player will be the backup (swing tackle) at both OLT and ORT, and the jumbo OL as well
I can see them drafting up to three OL this year. In addition to the glaring need at ORT, they need a better backup C than No Knees Hill. Second, the Smith and Carman experiments are over and done with, as far as I am concerned. Third, we need depth and heirs apparent to Karras and Cappa
I wont destroy appliances or set any local stadiums on fire if the first pick is a pass rushing DT, but if that is the case, 49 then becomes a pick that M U S T be an ORT
