If we don't get Lawrence and we are sitting at #2, we better choose Sewell. He is by far, the #2 prospect in the entire draft by a wide margin. You just don't pass up that kind of a talent, especially when we have another first rounder to address the QB spot. With that said, if we somehow win another game or two and we no longer are in the area to draft Sewell, there is indeed another option at LT. My second favorite guy is Liam Eichenberg of Notre Dame. He did not allow a sack in 2019 and so far, has not given one up this season either. He is a solid run blocker as well, but his pass blocking is what stands out to me. He would be a very nice addition to our O-Line. I'm not very high on the rest of the OT's in this class though. They are a little raw and would require a bit of coaching, (which I really don't trust our current staff to do.) 

The free agent LT class is very weak as well. There really isn't anyone available in free agency who is that much better than Robinson. Trent Williams, Russell Okung and Alejandro Villanueva are the big name guys and they are all well over 30 and none are what they once were. I don't see any help at all in free agency. If we miss out on Sewell and Eichenberg, I really see no other good option to fill the LT spot other than re-signing Robinson to a short term, mid level contract. He may not be great, but he's certainly outplaying Jawaan Taylor. He's been a train wreck this season.
