To be clear, I am not locked in to taking a T at 25.

I often speculate about taking a T at 25 because it seems that's where need may meet value at that spot in the draft based on everything I have seen.  Circumstances could easily dictate going in another position there (i.e. we sign Trent Williams).

Furthermore, given what Meyer said about not having to "blow up" the offensive line, I think the chances are substantial that we not go T at that spot.

You and I agree that it is of paramount importance we hit on the player taken, irrespective of position.

I also agree it is paramount that we must "hit" at the LT position. We cannot just throw anyone into that spot. We finally have a franchise QB and throwing a sub-par LT in there to protect him could be disastrous. That's why I think we're pretty much all in agreement that our #1 option should be doing whatever we have to in order to sign Trent Williams in free agency. If we did that, we could use that #25 pick for one of the better CB's or DE/DT's that could fall. Although at some point in the draft, I'd still be on the lookout for competition for the RT job.
