I agree with this, but I wonder if Bulaga's exorbitant contract would prevent such a move.

I bet it would pass him off not being the starter.

It might, but it would also probably lengthen his career.

Bryan Bulaga should be Left Tackle, period. His versatility is why he's at Right Tackle along with the lack of an actual Right Tackle on the team.

Put Bulaga at Left, try J. C. Tretter at Right and have a competition for Right.

Thing is, Bulaga has lost some lateral movement due to all those knee surgeries. He gets beat at times by speed rushers.

Play whoever you guys want, we have sub-par tackles, which limits the offense. Tretter would not hold up as a starter. He is too small and would wear down.

Any thoughts on who the OG/OT might be? OG is a possibility -- there are going to be a fair number on the board between picks 50 and 150. But unless someone falls unexpectedly, they're going to have to reach a fair amount to get a potential future starter at tackle. More average backup guys.

He has decent reviews and I must admit to a bias to smart kids. Unfortunately this smart of a kid didn't play against the talent one would want.

Anyone think Sitton actually retires sooner rather than later? I know he's a great player and relatively young, but he's had recurring back issues and I wonder how much longer he actually wants to do this. I think both lines should be a focal point of this draft.

We have seen a number of guys retire early due to health issues so I can totally see Sitton leaving. Selfish me would wish that he stays on until we find a replacement. We need at least one OG in the draft in my opinion. Maybe we draft 2 just to be safe.

Found a list of the best Right Tackle's and they are as follow with height and weight.

[list=1]
  • Bryan Bulaga 6'5" 314
  • Ricky Wagner 6'6" 310
  • Sebastian Vollmer 6'8" 320[/list]

  • J.C. Tretter is 6'4" 307 and probably too small and would wear down as DakotaT says. I'll buy that. If you are curious, David Bahktiari is 6'4" 300.

    Now, I'm not the kind of person to say we have a problem and not pose a solution. So here's my expert solution. I draft two Tackles to solve this problem. 1st round at 27, I take Taylor Decker 6'8" 310 to play left side and for right side I use my 2nd round pick at @55 to take Germain Ifedi 6'6" 324.
