If Ragnow drops into the 3rd round, I’d definitely package our extra 5th and 6th to try moving up for him. He spends 2018 as a backup interior guy a la Kelemete and he starts at center in 2019. Releasing Unger next year frees up $6.25 million in cap space.

Chris, I don't know in what universe that Ragnow falls to the third round...

Yeah, he's a Center, but I've felt he was first round grade prospect for a year now, still feel that way...

I'd only lowered him into my second round group because I felt there were other guys I'd given priority like Taven Bryan and Leighton Vander Esch...

Make no secret for my disdain for Mr. Glass and his unavailable"ness" coupled with having three (now four) left tackles on the roster...

I'd like to move on, get younger, and attain easier-to-fill LG or RT...

Peat or Ramczyk can easily man the LT spot, giving us cap friendly numbers for at least a couple more seasons...

And allowing the unit to play more cohesively than eight (8) games in the regular season together...

We could use that late one or early 2 on Armstead with teams like the Browns, Colts, Chargers and fill out our front seven or direct return on the offensive line...

	It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
