I think we may make an offer, but it ain't gonna be top 5 money, unless Baalke really is that bad at his job.

The reason you would tag Cam is because there is no guarantee you can pull off a deal to get another LT that is an upgrade over Cam.

If you go after Trent and he declines, and the Chargers outbid us for Brown...what's left?

Okung & Villanueva?  Both are likely finished.

It's a rare circumstance that a team will trade away a viable LT.

I disagree. Our current OT's set the bar so low, we'd have to really whiff, in order not to find a better one. Their PFF scores are among the bottom in the NFL. 

That's why you offer a massive, front loaded contract for like 3 years that is easy to get out of on the 3rd year. There is no reason to believe he would decline that much in 3 years and we have the cap room to make him the highest paid OT in the league on such a deal. I don't care if we have to overpay, as long as it's a short term deal. That buys us time to find a young LT in the next 2 seasons. 

Okung and Villanueva shouldn't even be on our radar.

Then you draft Jenkins or Cosmi or Radunz or Eichenberg at 25 and take the cheap upgrade.

FTFY

That's what you call reaching for a position and not taking BPA, hopefully Meyer doesn't back himself into a corner like that

That's your opinion. Everyone has different player rankings. I have multiple OT's in my top 25 overall players.
