Foster would probably make for a solid RT. Harrison could be a great fit at LT. Cleveland at LG is interesting. We need Scherff's and Morse's replacements ready to go though for 2025.

Having that extra 3rd and 4th RD pick in next year's draft could go a long way in the grand scheme of things in finding those replacements. Risner is also out there still. Cleveland's replacement from the Vikings last year. Would be good to bring him in. Andrus Peat is also out there at OG.

I'd expect a mid-season trade if Scherff gets a flat tire and the backups haven't distinguished themselves at that point. I think teams every year have to roll the dice that key players don't miss time at shallow spots. Very few teams have quality depth in all areas. It's disappointing though that interior O-line keeps getting shortchanged.
