They need a center, a RT, and help at guard. That doesn't even count all the other positions that need help, particularly on defense.
If they're going to be aggressive in free agency AND the draft, they have to settle the Fisher situation immediately. There's no other way to spin it. If they sit on Fisher and wait, either their free agency plan or their draft is going to change. Anybody that thinks they're going to spend big money on the offensive line AND draft offensive linemen in the first and second round is just kidding themselves. It's not going to happen. |

The draft is a crap-shoot, but you still have to shoot.
We need an influx of young talent on the offensive line. The prime years of Patrick Mahomes are here. We need to take advantage. |

That's not going to happen. It's bargain bin and the draft. I'd love to be wrong. |

I'd love to see them move on from Schwartz and Fisher, get a young stud LT, a new center, and all of that. It's just not going to happen, though. |

As for Fisher, I don't know that I want to move on really; it all depends. I just want to hedge the situation with a stop-gap and take a swing on a draft pick and hope that I have a difficult decision next February. |

If they take an OT in the 1st, he needs to start day 1. Niang moves inside. If they draft a LT and he sits while they play Rankin to fill in for Fisher, that's going to suck ass. |

If you're like me and you feel like maybe Alegretti is the only guy that started the SB that is of starting quality AND you've got LDT coming back who is what, like average to above average starting quality... And those 4 guys plus the two G's and you've completely rebuilt your line. Anyway. Either Wylie is terrible and makes Reiter look bad, or Reiter is bad and makes Wylie look worse (or what I figure is they both suck) and we just flat need to be better in there. |

Yes. That's what I've been advocating for. Trade up to draft a cornerstone T prospect and he starts at LT until/if Fisher is healthy then moves to RT while Niang moves inside. That's why I think signing Linsley is ideal as you've got the C and RG positions realistically locked down while the versatility of the new T and Niang lets you wait out Fishers return.

I'd be willing to be that starting lineup next year to start the season is: Stopgap LT, possibly already on team / Allegretti / New C / LDT / Niang. And honestly, is that REALLY that much better than what they started this season with? I don't think it is. It certainly has potential at RT but the real upgrade would be returning to Fisher at LT sometime during the season. |

If they trade picks to get a tackle in the first, you're looking at signing some scrub at center. The most realistic place to get a new center is in the draft and they need draft picks to do that. And Fisher is not moving to RT. That's never going to happen. |
