Definitely agree that OT will be a 1st or 2nd round target. Newhouse has been a disappointment and we badly need an upgrade at backup OT. 

 

I think the coaches would love to extend Boling and that he is the #1 FA for us on offense this offseason. We'd be pretty well set inside if we keep Boling because we'd have all 3 starters and a very good backup in Pollak. I think they like Hopkins as a backup inside too, so that would put us 5 deep on the interior.

I want to draft a tackle high for the long term. But i also think it's not a bad idea to get a veteran swing tackle.

I think we are fine at Guard and center especially if Boling is back.

There are a decent number of tackles available but no one that stands out. I would love a guy who could be a swing backup. Not sure who that is. Here is a list of the starters on the market I could find.

LT King Dunlap (16S, 99%) Michael Roos (IR-Microfracture 30%)
RT Bryan Bulaga (15S, 88%) Joe Barksdale (16S, 99%) Derek Newton (16S, 99%) Doug Free (11S, 66%) Jeremy Parnell (5S, 35%)

Does Zietler have an option year?  Usually first round picks do.  

 

I know this idea always rubs some people the wrong way.    I would rather extend Whit at a nice dollar amount and move to LG vs. competing to resign Boling with another Guard contract coming up.

 

 

Then you have to draft two tackles and one of them has to be high.

I want to say that's just high 1st rounders, but I could be wrong.
