Kease
Lane
Procise
Collins
Richardson (like him but fragile and Lockett is similar)
Willson
Ifedi (replace with Pocic)
Graham (like him but not getting the value in red zone)
Williams (value may be somewhat low still, but Russell will not risk those contested throws in real games IMO--see Graham)
It's really easy to sit back for us to say "hey let's just trade a player away and get a starting quality tackle", but in this league, at this stage of the year, teams aren't often willing to part with a starting quality offensive lineman. Those types of moves need to be made before or during the draft so the team has the ability to replace the lost talent.
At this point, the only way to get an offensive lineman who is a quality player away from a team would be to overpay, and that isn't smart to do in the long run. It also assumes there's a team willing to actually cough up the player we want and that is an extreme stretch.
