We've got big trouble on the OL.

Full disclosure, I dont feel great about the line and I was hoping that they would address the t and guard spots in FA.

I got on the cousins thing because others brought it up and I don't see why that is really that important now. Because as I see it I don't see any fourth round tackles that would have been anything more this year then depth. Say for example next draft we bring in a day one starting t with our second round pick. In that scenario we still have cousins and a t ready to play next year. Which is most likely where you may want to start playing a fourth round guy.

But why limit address the RT position only to the 4th round pick?
Why not the 3rd pick? There have been 3rd round RT that came on, start and play well. (Ryan Harris IIRC)

Also, based on Willie Smith and Maurice Hurt level of play both of which were arguable/visibly better then Jammaml Brown. (Which is also backed up by profootball focus advanced metrics)
Then I would argue if an UDFA rookie and a 6-7th round pick graded out better then Jammal Brown chances are pretty good that a 3rd/4th round RT would have been better then JB. (not to mention without a chronic hip condition)
