He will be better this year than a lot of those rookies you want to start day 1

He hasn't improved at all during his NFL career. Why would this change now? You're just being overly optimistic.

Unless we sign Trent Williams, which I'm praying we do, we have to upgrade the LT position by whatever means necessary.
