We need to draft (preferably) a stud at tackle who can compete with JJ as the starter and meanwhile lock Heyer in a weightroom for, say, 12 to 18 months. Seeing that kid get lambasted every down by Kearney was damn hard to watch (and left a bad memory after watching Kearney get completely shut down by GB's right tackle).

Heyer played a hell of a lot better than Wade did all season, I know that's not saying a whole lot, but Wade looked terrible this year. I also think that Heyer will continue to develop and probably can become a pretty decent LT at some point. I think having be the third tackle would probably be the right call, though. I won't be upset if he wins the starting job going into next season.
