Darrisaw maybe? Decker?
Mailata is really good, I'd probably go there.

Wirfs is probably the guy I like the most. Slater is right there. And Tunsil remains about as reliable a pass protector as the league has -- been that guy for a long time now.
Mailata is just in such a strange offense that I don't know how to grade him. Miller and Bolles have both developed into really nice OTs.
Taylor Moton's carrying a $31 million cap hit next season but as he enters his walk year with 3 void years left on his deal (and a young QB) that seems to make him more of a prime extension candidate in Carolina than a trade target. He's probably right near the top of the next tier of pretty solid OTs but not 'Dudes'.
Bottom line is that I think we need to have Andy at Cam Robinson's front door the moment the legal tampering window opens. I just don't see anybody out there that's close in terms of fit, skill set and availability. And I don't see the Vikings taking a $21 million cap charge to franchise tag him for the purposes of trading him. That would bind them up badly at the start of the FA period and would MAYBE yield them a 4th round pick.
Feels like he really needs to be the big offseason addition and you keep an eye on Kinglsey as a possible Taylor replacement in 2026.
