I honestly feel fine with not signing Clifton. I really want to stay way from having a patch work done at the LT position. I really want the team to pick up Okung so he can anchor our line for the next 10+ years.

I do want them to pick up a 3-4 LB though, which is why Dansby was my number 1 choice. However, I could live with Foote.

I'd be shocked if Foote didnt sign with Arizona, but i'm still holding out hope. I agree, Clifton wouldnt have been a long-term solution, but it would have opened up our options in the draft. If Okung's gone, i fear we'll end up reaching for someone.

However, if Okung's there, it'll be very hard for the FO to justify drafting anyone else, given that we don't have a capeable starter on the team right now.

Yeah we really don't have a starting tackle at all. R or L.
