Blank #2 it is.

I like the idea of bringing a G in via day 2 pick or a trade back in the first and maybe shooting for a swing tackle later on. No idea what to figure with Foster, is he another one of those late bloomers that takes a year or two before making it on the field? Does he make it onto the field?

Baalke drafts guys that take some time to develop. It's been his pattern forever, he's a high ceiling/high potential drafter. Occasionally you need a guy who is ready today even if he's maxxed out in two years. I think Tate Ratledge is that guy in the guard class, he'll be ready to go with the big boys on day 1 though he might not have the really high peak in year 3 or 4. What he becomes in year 2 might be it, but it will still be very good IMO.
