Leno was at least serviceable for another year, and they had the cap space to retain him. A rookie LT who is not a top prospect protecting the blind side of a rookie QB is a dangerous plan IMO when they had an option already signed at a reasonable cost. Why not retain Leno and still take a tackle early in the draft? Now it appears they will need to reach to fill a huge need and pray he works out.

Unless of course they already have a deal with a FA LT in the works which is what I suspect.
