I guess the thinking here is this a not a position to play with. I'm not saying cut or release Smith now or after next season but we're seeing enough red flags it's not a reach to think he can go from missing 3-4 games a year to 6-7 like Lee. But unlike Lee, it's much harder to manipulate Smith absence w/o negatively impacting the offense. So I'm simply saying if there's a chance to draft his potential replacement at 58 I'm all over it. He can swing as a rookie and replace Collins RT 2020. That way I have Collins replacement on board with an eye on Smith.
My point is if I have the same grade a TE, OT, S or WR player at 58, I'm going OT.
Can't remember who but someone said the Eagles actually draft Lane Johnson as their future LT behind Jason Peters.
