The roster issue is that we currently have just one guy on the entire roster who can play left tackle. Hurt is probably the backup there. One left tackle to five right tackles isn't a great ratio.

I agree with you on this. It seems to me as if they are planning to draft one or go with UFA players. Or maybe they will try Compton at LT in camp?

In game, i would guess Hurt too. However, I would think if Williams were out for any amount of time, Tyler would move to the left side and (if they make the team), one of the new guys would fill in at RT.

It is March 18th. Once the draft is over, we sign a few undrafted FA's, play a few preseason games we will see where we really are.
I would not be terribly shocked if along the way we pick up another OT or two and Pashos & Trueblood get cut by the start of season. They are rolling the dice with these two, I do not think they are expecting too much out of either. I m not worried about OT, I would be fine with Compton and Polubus at RT for one more year.
CB and Safety positions on the other hand is in serious need of some more talent. Draft will be leaning heavy with Db's if there are good ones there when we pick. But ShanAllen has shown in the past (2011 not drafting Locker) they will not get impatient and reach for need. They rather go with BPA. Smart.

Don't even go there, seriously. You take Trent out of the deck and this house of cards tumbles.
