That is why I stated "best available plug-in." You are correct there are practically zero Tyron Smith-level left tackles for Jones to acquire. There will not be some Andrew Whitmore type tackle unretiring to save the day. However, that does not eliminate probable left tackles that may be better than those already on this roster.
Talent level varies from player-to-player. Acquring a player that has less talent than Smith will not get you the same degree of blocking effectiveness but landing a player with more talent than tackles on the roster will get your better blocking ability than you currently have.
Churning is not a perfect give-and-take. Any GM must work at finding and adding the best players out there. A GM should never consign himself into basically saying 'I have done everything I can do' whenever that is not true.
Very correct, Im just saying replacing TS level of play is off the table outside of a substantial trade, we just need to come to terms as fans that LT is going to be a major issue.
Now can we alleviate some OL stress, yes I believe we can, and that means that adding any OL that can improve this OL, depth included,, add it.
This FO and McClay need to be focusing on improving this "OL Unit", now.
LT is a quagmire, and Moore is sweating bisquits on how he will feature a less left side offensive attack.
