They also go quickly in the draft and get our massive salaries in FA, so a year where one might be available late in the first td would be amazing for us.
As for this next season, you play the kid at LT and when Fish comes back you put them inside at LG. It’s Allegretti and Wylie at that spot currently. That’s not a difficult decision. As Andy says “okay the 5 best guys”.
A cheap quality LT changes everything. One of the highest paid players on your team is now cheap for 5 years while you have the highest paid player in the league. They could also dump Clark after this year and have a ton of money free for reloading the roster.
Again, they need to determine that one of those prospects is worthy but considering this class it’s very possible.

If Fisher comes back and signs a multiyear extension, you don't have a cheap quality LT. You have TWO LT's and one of them is expensive.
There's no reason to double up at the spot.
And the whole talk about just taking an OT and moving them to guard - that's not how it works and it's not a good use of resources.
If there's a STUD LT there at 31, he's a LT, not a guard and you don't move him just because Fisher is back.
