Anywhere, but where we currently are. We need to take some risks. Keeping the trash that we have, isn't doing us any good. A first or second round OT isn't guaranteed to be a star, but it would at least show an effort to get better. Our OT's aren't even average.

Besides, as much as I would like a new LT, we do have many many needs, and you can't fill them all in one offseason.

LT is the second most important position on a football team with a right handed franchise QB. It must be addressed immediately.

I think they've begun addressing it by not allowing a complete absence of anyone at that position.   The worst thing that can happen is to draft TL and have NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, to play LT.   All you guys who seem to think some 2nd round draft pick is going to be better than Cam Robinson right out of the gate are delusional.  

Besides, all the options they had before are still on the table.  Except, of course, for letting our starting LT walk away in free agency.  Thank god we don't have that option any more.
