Forget drafting players because tom only has 2 year contract...hence me also saying haeg starts at RT,no need to start a rookie ot.like jl said it's about the future too.

In terms of having Tom on our roster and looking for immediate-impact players, you know, there’s a balance here. Obviously Tom isn’t probably going to play for the next 10 years. He’s been kind of a freak of nature in terms of playing at the level that he has at his age because he takes care of himself so well. So I can’t put a timeline on how long he is going to play. But you have to think about the future, as well. So if you try to go for the guy that you think is only going to be able to play [this season], and if you expect him to come in and make an instant impact, I think you’re fooling yourself a little bit. All these players are going to need developmental time, especially with the backdrop that we’re in right now — a little bit of uncertainty of when we’re going to start. Players need reps, so there may be a little bit of a focus on the intelligence and the ability to pick up things than there have been in prior years.
