We could always find another Lang in the 3rd to 4th round. Colledge is the weakest link on the O-line besides left tackle. The left tackle position is tricky, free agency is limited and expensive.  The draft is not looking good unless we trade up.  Other option is a block buster trade which TT will unlikely do.  I guess we could go with our first 2 picks as lineman, using our second to get a rookie right tackle for the backup for Tauscher, then Start Lang at left and letting Clifton go. TT let this go too far without addressing it earlier, though it is a shame that Colledge did not turn out to be the guy.</blockquote>
