Exactly.

QB is the priority, but protecting that investment should also be a priority. Barry Richardson is, in no way, a passable NFL tackle.

We don't need to draft a guy in the 2nd. I'm not an NFL scout. I don't get paid to scour film for 8+ hours a day to recognize talented NFL players. I'm sure, somehow, we can acquire someone adequate... even if it's a temporary stop gap... through one of the many avenues of player acquisition available to us. I think our OL is solid outside of that one spot.

Seriously there will probably be at least 40 guys available in the draft or FA next year who would be an upgrade over Richardson. He's just awful.
