Draft O-Line Early In 2019? Finally?

A few early impressions from scouting reports and limited video:

Jonah Williams (Alabama) has experience playing both sides and at least one report i read on home says he could slide to the interior.

Dalton Risner (Kansas St.) is a tackle ranked highly on most early boards who began his college stint at Center - indicating some versatility as well.

Bobby Evans out of Oklahoma is a guy that will likely go a bit later that seems to have some versatility  - but could challenge to start at tackle as well.

Jonah Williams is a great RT prospect. I think taking him top 10 might be a bit of a reach though. He could play LT but I'm not sure we'd be improving the spot and feels like a bit of a wasted pick in the first round to take a RT.
I like Risner as a guard prospect actually. Can play RT, RG or C. Very versatile. Probably a 2nd rounder. Which would give us flexibility with him and Richardson at RT or RG.
Benzschawel and Dieter both OGs from Wisconsin would be good grabs in the 2nd as well.

Ideally something like 
1st Grier
2nd Benz/Dieter/Risner (I think Risner is the value here honestly being able to play multiple spots which as we've seen this year comes in handy)
3rd Caleb Wilson (TE from UCLA--might not make it here though)
Then address OL again with one of our 2 4th rounders.

OL should be 2 of our first 5 picks and we should add one in FA (I would actually lean on trying to keep a guy like Shatley)
