It took me some time to warm up but im trying to be very logical here. Bushrod is likely gone..and Brown is an UNRESTRICTED FA next year. What better way to prepare for that by Drafting a tackle @ that spot. The draft is deep with passrushers so its plausible that u can find one later in the draft. Since we are switchiing to the 3-4 it gives us flexibility in looking for PASSRUSHERS and not just a 4-3 style DE. Difference is passrushers come in all shapes and sizes and we don't have our hands tied behind our backs anymore.
Yep, drafting a LT does three things:
1) It gives us depth at the position we do NOT have at all
2) Provides a way to make Brown step up via competition
3) Allows us to fill the position (one of the highest paid positions in the NFL) for cheap and a marginal drop-off in talent level
