How much younger than Bulaga is Moses anyway - two or three years, at most? So that's a non-factor. Also, we don't even know if Moses can come back from his Lisfranc injury and he wasn't exactly a ballerina before he hurt his foot.
OK, I like Bulaga a lot and I'd like to see the Skins try to fix the OL sooner rather than later. On the other hand, you don't want to pay the price for him and you're willing to wait on draftees to develop (if they develop). Bottom line: we're not going to agree about the way the Skins should fix the RT problem.
Fortunately for you, it's very doubtful that Scot M. will be shopping on Rodeo Drive during Free Agency so I almost certainly won't get what I want.
Hopefully, the Skins will find some way to upgrade RT and G this off-season because I think the lack of good pass protection is hurting the confidence, and therefore the development, of our young QBs.

I think signing a player like Bulaga, even if it costs a little bit makes sense for this team. We're not going to have a QB in the next two seasons that can overcome a below average/mediocre/inexperienced line. So the team should build a line that can help the QB position. Bulaga is not old, he's only 25, it's not like you're overpaying for a guy in his 30s.
