    I think your missing the point entirely? No one saying the position doesn't need address. Let me break it down.

    1. Original statement - What happens if Conklin is picked?
    2. My statement - Move on to BPA and grab your guy in round 2 - (logic small drop off between 4th OT in round 1 and the next group in round 2)

    Your mistaken if you think the 4th+ picked tackle is going to be that drastic of an improvement over Bell day 1. Could he? Yes, and more likely will be by the the end of the season. But why reach for the 4th best player at the position when you have the chance to get the 1st/2nd best d-lineman/DB/pass-rusher?

    Theyre both out of their league IMO at Tackle, I want someone with loose hips who doesn't get taken for a ride half the time, and then be able to flip a switch and maul guys run blocking, this draft offers some of that, and at 15 we should be able to net one of these guys

    If Tunsil, Stanley, and Conklin are all gone as depicted by the scenerio of this discussion. Than Taylor Decker is the next guy up, what really separated him from Spriggs, Ifedi, Clark, Etc? Than you weigh the pros of cons of forcing picking a need over BPA when you could be getting the best/2nd best player at another position of need.

    Didn't we try that with Poutasi?

    Bell was solid, and the better of our OL at 2 positions.

    But yes, we will upgrade.

    Decker is much more polished than Spriggs, Clark and Ifedi, I really see this class as Tunsil, Decker/Conklin, Ifedi, and then everyone else. IDK where all this Stanley madness comes from but Im praying he somehow gets drafted by anyone picking before us.

    Also the statue (Mett) contributed to some of those sacks. And by the end of the year or OL was in shambles again.

    I think just having a C that knows what he is doing will help a ton.

    We need to take the best player in the first round not a position. Tackles can be had all over the draft and you certainly should not use first rounder on a RT. I predict we trade up and get tunsil when he drops to 8 or 9 tonight. I personally hope if we trade up it is to get ramsey!
