We lucked out and may have gotten one last year. We have a rare chance to get another if we can't trade the pick. Bookend tackles allow every kind of offensive play calling, and allow even mediocre recievers to get open and runners to have good seasons. If Mike Shanahan taught us one thing, it is that if you have a great OL, any mediocre RB can look like a star. Joe Gibbs taught that to the NFL with the "Hogs" in the 80s.

You can HAVE bookend tackles without committing $100 million in contracts and two first-round draft picks to the position.
The Colts have Ryan Diem - 4th round
The GREATEST PASSING OFFENSE EVER - the 1999 Rams - featured 5th rounder Fred Miller at RT.
Do you know where the Bills got Howard Ballard? THE 11TH ****ING ROUND! THEY HAD THE TOP RANKED OFFENSE IN 1993!
Guess where they drafted their left tackle? Where you draft left tackles. THE FIRST ROUND.
Get a right tackle someplace else. They are spare parts. You give one $50 million and you're wasting money.
