If you don't want to do any of those then this is what we get, drafting OT's at the end of rounds on nothing but just athletic ability or raw undeveloped traits and then you pray one of them does develop.

That is what happens when you win a lot.

And even most high pick OTs aren't ready quickly.

The same things that have led to QBs and WRs being more NFL ready than they used to be has simultaneously led to OTs being LESS ready.

There are a lot of bad young OTs in this league. And some of them will be less bad in the future. Fewer still will be genuinely good.

You just have to keep taking the shot. And honestly, that's kinda why it's not a great idea to re-sign Smith and/or Thuney - some of those shots you take will yield guys that CAN be quality starting OGs and if you've bottlenecked that spot on your roster, you're just pissing away draft picks.

Keep gambling -- sooner or later we'll find a quality OT and in the process we'll probably find at least one more quality OG.

But man, apart from QB, there's just not a position out there that's harder to fill or has fewer guys available that can do the job at a high level. You just have to keep trying.
