I still think we may look at that position in the offseason too, but Im not mad at Benedet, and I wouldnt presume to put a ceiling on what he could become either at this point

They saw enough of him to put him ahead of a guy who’s been out starting LT now for 3(?) years.

And with regards to untapped potential still on the team, there’s Trapilo waiting in the wings.

I tend to agree.  We all want the LT position settled, but when you have the seventh rated OL, in the first year of a system, that's a great thing.  Add in that these five guys have never played together before this season. Braxton was always average at best, but coming off the injury made him worse.  We could even sign him on the cheap, as he is still very young.  I could see Theo taking over for Thuney one day.   

If draft day comes and the clear best prospect is a left tackle, I'm taking him.  If it's close, I'm taking someone to get after the QB.  We need that first and foremost.
