But, with Jammal Brown's level of play, injury and missed starts an argument could be made that addressing the RT position should have been a higher priority.
I like profootball focus metrics and Jammal Brown had a terrible rating. (-18)
According to PFF Tyler was better then Brown but not by much (-16), but at least Tyler is young and you expect him to improve with playing time and maybe he develops into a league average RT?

But, right now that's just a hope.
And if Tyler is gonna be a starter then where is our quality depth?

Imo finding a more certain solution to the RT situation should have been a much higher priority.

I don't think there can be any reasonable argument made backup QB was a greater need than RT starter/depth for what it's worth. The debate of WR vs RT is a good one; however, I come down solidly on the oline side of the debate, particularly when it's a rookie QB expected to be our superstar. In that respect, the risk, calculated or not, our FA took by neglecting the RT position is pretty shocking...something I'd expect from the 1st time HC like Zorn.
