Then start the rookie at RT and a FA at LT, but having a good swing tackle will allow him to step in if the rookie struggles.

Yeah the really highly touted OT’s will be gone by the second. But the Princley (cant remember his last name) and Jordan Morgans of the world will be there at 36 possibly.
Didn’t someone post something on here recently about the success rate of OT’s drafted in the top 10 vs being drafted in the first few rounds in general?
It heavily favored the ones drafted later. Anyway I would not be opposed to- at all - grabbing an OT in FA - a veteran who can hold their own like you said.
