With the cap and things we've got coming up.....we really need that to work out cheaply for a few years.

This was my original notion and I'm coming back around to it after reading you guys hammer on it.
Signing a guy like Jaylon Moore from SF gives you solid competition at a fair price and he's not an aged broke dick. Whoever loses the battle at LT could easily slide to LG next year when Thuney is gone. And I think you can hedge some by taking a guy like Anthony Belton in round 2 or 3 and letting him develop too.
That, of course, is dependent on Andy Reid. He has historically been patient in developing OL on the field but the success and the crushing pressure of the 3-peat I think got him away from it. The right move was to keep Suamataia on the field developing and giving him help from TEs and RBs with chips as needed but we didn't do that. We need to do that with someone, even the best rookie from this class won't be ready to sit out on an island like we've seen him employ of late. The only OT in FA I'd trust on an island is Ronnie Stanley. So, either way, it has to get back to the basics here .
