Charles and Norvell need to be replaced.

I think Paul has a good chance to at least be G number 3 (next man up).

Agreed. I think the current set up is: Leno/rookie - Paul/? - Roullier - Cosmi - Wylie.

I still think that if we draft a tackle high he goes to RT or LG for a season or two until Leno leaves or is cut. If he goes to RT then Wylie will shift back to his better position at RG and Cosmi to LG. Add a young centre behind Gates in rnd 3 or 4 and we are set. Cutting Norwell, Roullier and Cornelius Lucas saves $16m on the cap.

Or if they draft Darnell Wright or another T in the 1st:

Leno (I imagine he starts here 1 more year)/Wylie/Roullier or Gates/Cosmi/1st Round Tackle.

Depending on how the draft falls, I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted a C to back-up Gates and released Roullier. Use that money to sign some post-draft casualties from other teams for other positions of need.
