Seeing as Charles Brown hasn't made it through a full season without injury, what's your contingency plan?

At the moment it seems to be Marcel Jones, but he is far from being starter-ready after missing out his entire rookie season with an injury.

And in any case, Jones is better suited to be a RT, at least that's what a lot of scouts said about him before last year's draft, but he was evaluated as having all the tools to be a really good RT when all is said and done.

Regardless who they take in the draft LT will be an issue, McKinnie is still available and probably will be after the draft. I think their going to try and sign a veteran tackle after the draft, If it were me I would look at McKinnie as a contingency plan to Brown considering his injury problems.
Marcel Jones and Bryan Harris is also on the roster that can play tackle.
I do know that drafting a tackle to start at position 15 or later is not the answer to protecting one of the best QB'S in the NFL.
