Will Campbell | OT | LSU​

This offense has multiple needs up front, so a versatile blocker with tons of upside would be an ideal fit. Enter Campbell, a young and somewhat raw prospect with plenty of starting experience at tackle, but also the skill set to slide inside and play guard if necessary. He could make an instant impact at either right tackle or along the interior before eventually replacing Trent Williams at left tackle.

I thought we stopped drafting players and moving them to new positions.

We don't need a rookie starter at OG- we need a veteran.

You would draft him for RT. I’m concerned the OL will have a set back next year derailing the running attack and any hoped gains with the passing game. We had a lot of success with our FA at RT last year?

I’ve seen mocks showing Will being picked after pick 10. If there is a run on edge players early and the strong DTs are gone and Will slips a bit, then going the CB or OL route would make sense?

I would have a hate-meter activated if Monti goes CB in the first round.

Sign a DT free agent. Draft the best pass rusher with our first pick. Take an o-lineman in the secon.

The FA DT class blows.

The best guy available is probably BJ Hill or Foley Fatukasi. It's really bad.

Best hope is someone like Jon Allen gets cut, but otherwise we ain't fixing iDL in FA.

this sentence right here is the greatest indictment of the Monti 3 year plan. We shouldn't have that many needs at this point with the amount of cap space/draft picks.
I also disagree with it. Do we still have needs? Yes, of course. But do we have too many needs to trade a first and a third to move up and get the guy we want?

Obviously not. Here are the holes in the roster that need to be filled by starting-caliber players pending nothing changes before free agency:

ILB
EDGE
LG
OT

That's it! You probably fill one or two of those in free agency.
