i contend that if Jones is slightly better than Trapilo he will still play Trapilo so that Trapilo grows and the line gets experience going forward into the future.

They're building toward a Superbowl, and so every decision has to be in line with that. Not winning one more game this year, and then starting over next year. That's poor strategy.

I completely disagree.  You must play the best player, period.  That's football 101.  Everyone is building for a Superbowl, so that analogy just doesn't fit. And

We are currently ranked fourth in our division, so every win counts just to make it one rung higher to a wildcard.  Having a ready player waiting in the wings is not a bad thing.  The eagles had a young Cam Jurgens sitting behind an old Jason Kelce.  Some could argue that Jurgens made the OL better. I know he was damn good in the Superbowl, plus he was all pro.  He was a second rounder just like Trapillo.  I also think Kelce was a fifth rounder like Braxton.

Howie Roseman is showing the league how it's done.  Maybe Poles is catching on and drafting them before you need them.

It all comes down to protecting the QB.  Who can do it best deserves the job.  

Having depth that can is even better and seeing whole lines get decimated through a season means the position needs to be at least 8-9 deep.
