Not necessarily.

I wouldn't mind a trade back scenaio that lands us Taylor,, Dillard, Jonah Williams or Ford.

Part of what drives my concern is this team's persistent failure to acquire a stud RT in the 2nd round or lower throughout its history. 

The only RT we've been successful drafting was Maurice Williams way back in 2001.  Now if you want to classify Cam Robinson  as a RT, I may be willing to consider that.  But even taking that at face value, that's still only two in 25 years.  Britton was a failure, as was Bryan DeMarco.  Mike Pearson was meh at best at LT, and was nowhere physical enough to be a RT.  Khalif Barnes had a year of quality play for us then flamed out.

In the 3rd round we have managed to find the occasional guard (Manwai, Linder, Cann).

To date, tje only lineman we have successfully found after the 3rd round was Bowanko.

Why risk the health of our QB and the effectiveness of the offense trying to be cute or greedy on draft day?

Historically, if we don't get a RT by round two, forget it.
