Can you imagine if we took Laremy Tunsil to replace Free?

I would not be upset. You build a wall in front of your franchise, to protect your house, and you can't go too wrong.

Then you draft, Jon Dahl in the 6th, or acquire a 7th in a trade and then take him. He can play both G positions. Green can be your swing T. Keep Bernie around to play all 3 interior OL positions. Keep Charles Brown to also play Swing T, along with Green.

I mean Tunsil is the undisputed #1 talent in this draft you don't just pass up on him if he falls to you. It would be the Leonard Williams to the Jets situation.

I would do it over drafting a backup QB. Heck I could be convinced it was the best way to go. Maybe wouldn't even take much convincing.

I have long thought the best way to manipulate the cap is to have highly drafted Olinemen that you can extend/restructure.

They have a low bust rate and tend to have longer careers than most players. Capable of playing well into their mid 30's.

Not to mention if you want Romo healthy and think he is your best shot why not?

What kind of prospect is he compared to Tyron at USC

Very similar. Probably a little bit more polished, but not much. They are very, very similar in their play styles, athleticism and strengths. I bet he draws a ton of comparisons to T. Smith in the coming months.

I'd rather take him than a LB...if both QB's and Bosa are gone with no trade back options available I really wouldn't be upset with Tunsil

Tunsil will be drafted by the Titans.
Book it.
The only one I would take over Bosa is Tunsil and that includes both QBs

Best OL ever. Hopefully they can also run, throw the ball and play on defense as well.

What about Chaz Green? I was hoping he'd be ready to bump Free from that RT spot this year.

I realize that Collins wasn't a first rounder, but he would have been. I wonder when the last time all 5 linemen were 1st rounders, if ever.

Unless they trade out of the top pick. If the 9ers trade up, I can see:

SF - Goff
Cleveland - Paxton
SD - Bosa

Tunsil being available at 4 is a very strong possibility in this situation.

Overkill if you ask me

A 5m+ Vet in Free, a 3rd round pick in CGreen and now a top 4 pick

We need other positions a lot more, like QB

It wouldn't be wise. Eventually, Frederick and Martin will want to get paid big money and also Collins if he continues to improve and fulfill his potential. You have to use those resources at other positions to fill the other holes on the team.
