Do you see multiple OT prospects still being on the board when we pick at 25?

I don't. In fact, trading back from 25 is a frightening proposition for me if OT is a primary draft concern.

Depending on how things shake out in free agency/salary cap/trades, every team below us could end up with needs at T, except maybe Cleveland.

I am fairly hopeful that there should be. I have several that I like, but I'm gonna look at the first 20 picks of the draft and see how things play out. If my targeted OT's start coming off the board fairly rapidly and I see things are not going our way, I wouldn't even be above trading up to #20-#23, in order to make sure I find a quality LT. That is not something I ever advocate doing, but this draft is different. I absolutely won't go into next season with Cam Robinson as a starter, because I missed out on getting a good LT in the draft and I also won't wait so long that I take a so-so LT later in the draft out of desperation, because I waited too long. That's how we ended up with Robinson and Taylor in the first place. It would basically take a miracle for me to even consider trading down from #25 at this point. If we signed Trent Williams in free agency, I might take a deal to trade down (not too far), but as I said, I'd want a future 1st and a 2021 mid rounder, probably a 3rd.

One thing is for sure. One way or another, I'm going into 2021 with Trevor Lawrence as my QB and a major upgrade at the LT position.

A team desperate for the "last" quarterback on their board would likely be willing to give us their 2nd and 3rd rounders. As long as they are picking in the top 10 of those rounds, I'd love this trade.

That, I would definitely consider. Since I'd have my QB and LT selected already in round 1.
