If we strikeout on on those 2 then I guess you sign Humphries again and you then get to work with the draft. Yes, Banks/Campbell/maybe Simmons requires probably too high of a trade up. I believe our 2025 1st, 2025 3rd, and 2026 1st is enough to get us up somewhere around 15 or a little higher. Obviously it depends on their draft evaluation and how high they think they need to go, but I think they need to come away with one of Banks, Simmons, Conerly, or Ersery. Most likely none are quite ready to start by day 1, but at least you now have a veteran option with Humphries and I guess worst case scenario Morris and/or KS are improved some more (but I’m not banking on that for a second). This might seem like an over correction but so be it, we’ve hopefully solved LT long term and have the 5th year option and hopefully Morris or KS end up being a capable starter by 2026 after Taylor is kicked to the curb.

Any left tackle you take after about pick 12 is a lottery ticket. That's what the hit rates are. You either draft one top 10 or you hope.
