[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 427602, member: 5535"] It's obvious we need to upgrade our pass rush big time and so we're all thinking DEs, DTs and OLBs in the first two rounds, but I wonder if we won't be needing a solid prospect at OT almost as much? Bulaga is our starting RT and is pretty solid. Clifton is a 12-year vet and his career is about done. That leaves Newhouse and Sherrod. Sherrod was going to be Clifton's replacement, but there's almost no way he can be counted on next year with that multiple leg fracture, and maybe not ever who knows. That leaves Newhouse. It just seems a bit too risky to put the LT assignment on his shoulders. If we could somehow get a 1st rounder by franchising Flynn and trading him we could get the best player we can at OT, OLB or DE with that pick, then get one of the two others with our second first round pick. OTs are looking like a hot commodity in this draft so if we want one of the top prospects we'd have to move up in the draft. Matt Kalil and Reilly Reiff will be taken pretty high and we probably have no chance at either one of them, but Jonathan Martin should be available in the mid 1st round. Seems like the interior line is fine with Wells, Sitton and Lang. I'm sure we'll resign Wells...I'd be shocked if we didn't. [/QUOTE]
