Damn. Not only is Turbin gone, but poor guy has to be a Brown.

The other thing is that I think that the Hawks really like Rawls, and want to start grooming him as a possible replacement for Beast.

We don't have his replacement, unless Alvin Bailey, who lost two other starting possibilities this year at Guard and Right Tackle, suddenly becomes a NFL Left Tackle. So no matter what, we will need a Left Tackle going forward.

And again, if we don't resign him, it's not like we can just stick anyone in there. We will need a Left Tackle, which are high priced players in the overall scheme of things.
