Not to mention all the tipped passes this year. So I like focusing on the interior.
Now that we have a really solid interior how important are the tackles? Are they must haves or can we settle for decent?

I'm going to side with staylor and say "must haves."
Now, I do think Niang is a sleeping giant at RT. I don't think people realize just how good he was before that hip injury in college.
That basically leaves LT and a solid swing tackle. If they get a good FA LT, they can take a guy like Walker Little to develop in round 3 and he can be a swing guy for a couple of years.
If they can't get a top-shelf LT in FA, then I think you look to get a good swing guy there and then go after a LT in the draft. Either way, Reid requires tackles that can play in space.
