Considering our limited options in the draft and FA this year, this might be the best strategy available to try to upgrade our tackles next season.

What limited options? We have a ton of draft picks and more money to spend in free agency than any other team in the league.

We have limited options at OT this year if you had read the original post.

The good FA OTs most likely will never hit the open market and the draft picks we have available will only allow us to pick players who most likely will need time to develop before you can trust them with the job to protect the face of your franchise.

I like the logic that we need a $20 mill all pro tackle on the left side to protect our 1st overall pick QB but we only need the 5th or 6th best rookie prospect on the right to keep him safe.

It's not like a missed block from the RT tackle lead to one of the hits that broke Burrow. Oh, wait.....
