b) Rishaw Johnson/Eric Kush rotational experiments - Always a good thing when you are putting all your chips in on an undrafted player or a 5th round draft pick from a DII school with little to no experience. This isn't a huge gamble or anything with no insurance policy if they fail.
c) Some cheap slapdick 30+ year old veteran - Probably lacking in strength but makes up for in experience, similar to our Ryan Lilja years aka back to square one of mediocrity.
there's your options to replace Schwartz. None of them are that attractive.

So a 1st round OG is bad (potentially Zach Martin), so is a 2nd rounder (Jeff Allen), same can be said for C (Cowboys last year), they can be found on day3. So we have a couple guys who fit that exactly in Kush and Johnson (UDFA), but they aren't proven enough to get a chance. So I just wanna ask, who is the right fit for you? What's the magic number? 4th round? 3rd round? Anything higher is a waste for interior lineman, anything later is just a D2 chump or an overrated D1 bum? What's the secret formula?
