[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 270710, member: 1429"] What I'm saying is that we definitely need both positions. However, if it were to really invest in one, given the opportunity that presents, it would be at LG. I hadn't thought about your point of Tauscher not being durable, and agree with you. We need, no matter what, to hire at least a backup LT. But, unless we manage to get Penn or Trueblood, I don't see any LTs to build from. It's soon, but I don't see any viable options at LT in the draft. Any guy that we could pick with the 23th pick would not be an improvement over Lang. Iupati and Evans, however, would be an instant upgrade to our LG, and make our OL much better. I'll put it in scenarios; from better to worst (all considering Tauscher back): 1) We get Penn, Evans and Best. Then Lang is the Tackle backup. 2) We get Penn and Iupati. Lang is the Tackle backup. 3) We get Trueblood, Evans and Best. 4) We get Trueblood and Iupati. 5) We get Evans and Best. Lang is the LT. We still need a backup LT 6) We get Iupati. Lang is the LT. 7) We get Williams, Bulaga or Charles Brown (Don't know which is best). IMHO Lang would be the LT, we would still have a hole at LG, but our LT of the future probably would be on the team. So, the way I see, improvising Lang at LT wouldn't be an improvisation per say, because Tackle positions are similar. And I think, unless we get Okung, Davis, Penn or Trueblood, Lang would still be a better LT right now than the other possible pick. Evans or Iupati, on the other hand, would be an immense upgrade over Spitz and Colledge. - What I'm saying is, we need a LT no matter what. However, chances are much slimmer that we can improve our CURRENT OL by getting a LT than a LG. So, if we can't get Penn, Trueblood, Russel Okung or Anthony Davis, I'd rather invest in the LG position and postpone the LT need for one more year. We can do with Lang and Tauscher at the Tackles and a serviceable backup. We can't, however, continue with Colledge and Spitz as the LGs. BTW, I believe Clifton is done. He didn't play well this year, neither did he last year. [/QUOTE]
