I get the concerns but if you really think about what is possible. I keep coming back to Brown.

Brown's not a good fit, would require draft capital, likely a new contract, AND The Ravens would almost certainly not trade him to the team they consider their kryptonite and biggest rival. This last bit is enough by itself to rule out Brown, in all honesty. Ravens just flat wouldn't do that even if we wanted to.
Tunsil will be too much in draft resources.
Dillard is a possibility if Veach likes him, and he won't cost more than a #31. He was a #22 pick, had a rough rookie year at RT and missed year two with a torn bicep. He might cost you #63, and I think that's a reasonable risk IF Veach likes him. He's had a couple of years of NFL coaching and conditioning at least.
More likely I think is a Reiff/Okung type on a short deal and a Radunz/Little type draftee.
Your short term is covered, you're working towards the future, and you haven't screwed your cap so you can still look to fill other weak spots.
