Tagging Cam and moving him to RT, signing 1 starting caliber IOL in FA, and then drafting 1 starting caliber IOL at 33 65 or 70 will give Trevor adequate protection.

You keep saying that but he might not want to play RT. He's played LT his whole career and college and likely High School, Sercy was talking about it the other day, Cam might not be willing to move to RT and it wouldn't surprise me especially being last year was his best year along with his rookie year.  Just like Orlando Brown won't play RT.

But taking Neal at #1 has at least the promise of giving TL better than merely "adequate" protection.

As for Neal being 1/5 in the OL, that would be the case no matter what position you drafted.  3-4 OLB?  You are going to be 1/4.  4-3 DE?  1/5.  Receiver?  1/3-6.  Corner?  You will be 1/4-7.
