yeah, we just re-signed Jansen & Samuels is under contract, but both those guys will get hurt & we need to look towards the future as Jansen is gettin up there.
We definitely need to get some depth on the O line.

Depth is one thing. Having two franchise LTs (and both getting paid as such) on the same roster is a different story. If you want quality depth, you use a 3rd or 4th rounder on a guy, not the 6th pick (and millions in guaranteed money).
The 6th pick needs to be a starter pretty much right away, not three years down the line when Jansen gets too old.
This is an absurd conversation. There's no way the Skins are going to pick Joe Thomas.
