In big picture context, the way the New Regime (NR) has handled the LT position has been a cluster****. My preferences:
1) sign BA to a long term contract before the draft and use 1.1 for a higher priority need
2) Draft Fisher 1.1 and sign BA to play LG or RT
3) Trade BA for a 2013 2nd round pick
4) Trade BA for a 2014 2nd round pick
5) Keep BA for 2013 and ???. We're in no man's land at this point.
Based on where we're at now, assuming BA isn't jumping up and down about changing positions, trading him for a 2014 2nd is the best cut-your-losses proposition. Black mark on the NR.
