All of the picks did address needs. 
They may not have prioritized them the way some us would, but every single one addressed need. 
Even the RB (given the kickoff rules change) addressed a need. 

I'm hoping the remainder of free agency and trade opportunities fill one or two depth positions with players that inspire more confidence. 

We have cap space and extra picks in 2025 to work with.

Why would drafting Foster make us cut Little?  You need two backup tackles, and Little is on a rookie contract so there would be minimal salary cap savings.  I could see a scenario where a team with playoff aspirations loses its starting tackle to injury in the pre-season and they trade for Walker Little, but cutting him?  No, that doesn't make any sense.

I think if Foster hits Little is more expendable. Teams that need an OT with experience before trade deadline might light the cheap test drive like we did with Ezra. I don't see anything happening immediately or even before week 1, but I can certainly see the team looking to get a jump on the comp pick for letting him go in FA.

Cutting Cam or Walker at this point would be a terrible move presently.

I think the statement was more to confirm that his (Foster) work will be done on the outside vs. training him to play at OG. Now do they try and push Little back inside to help at Guard? Not sure we know that answer yet.

Not sure what he would look like at guard with a whole offseason and a competent center to work with, but I felt like the Walker Little at guard experiment was a complete failure last year. 

Dude seems destined to be a mid-tier starter at tackle unless a leap in his performance occurs.
Just my gut from what I've seen. 

IF they like how Foster acclimates - I would not be shocked if they dealt Walker Little within a month or so of the deadline.
