Is he a mauler?
I believe they will look for a RT if they don't get one in FA.
Someone like Taylor Moton in the 3rd, maybe?
If you look at what they try to do on the OL, they like a big, tough guy with a nasty streak at RT. Breno was that type, and I think they thought Webb was too, but he didn't seem to be interested. Sowell and Gilliam didn't seem to curry favor with the coaches as they seemed uncertain about who to play. Therefore a need at RT looks to exist. Maybe Odhiambo will be tried there, but we still need competition at LT and since they didn't try him at RT and only discussed him at LT, I think they feel they have two young guys and depth at LT.
Just out of curiosity, where does everyone think Fant would be drafted if he was put into this years draft after seeing last years play? I would say considering his improvement after only 8 games and the lack of LT potential in the draft, he would go pretty early, like late 1st or early 2nd. Given that, I don't think they go LT in this draft.
