That would be ideal. we need both LT and RT. At 4, no one we would take would really satisfy me. Okung is not the best fit for our zoneblocking offense. Trent Williams has tremendous potential, but really isnt worth the 4th overall pick as he's also somewhat of a gamble. ideally, we can trade back a bit and pick up some more picks.

If we trade back and remain in the top 10-12 in the draft, we can probably come out with a left tackle. if we trade back any further, we're proably going to get a right tackle - but accumulate more picks in the draft. At this point, i favor the later option.

I'd be very happy if we traded down to the lower part of the 1st round, picked up a 2nd rounder this year and next, drafted Mike Iupati to play RT (potential to play LT down the road) and then picked up Flozell Adams after the draft. The guy can still play at a high level and would be fine for a year or two. Or, we could use one of our newly acquired 2nd rounders and trade for Jamaal Brown.
