Plenty of good DE's line up against RT's nowadays, or flip sides.
Yes, but for a right handed QB, LT will always be a premium position to defend the blind side.

If you draft a non-premium position in the top 10.. they better be really good, especially when you controlled the draft coming from #1.

He went up against a nasty DL and played well. Very encouraging.

I remember how bad Braxton struggled with Montez Sweat last season, aside from a play or 2 he was invisible going up against Wright.

They gave no FA long term contracts for more than 10m a year. The biggest contracts went to Kmet and Moore who was traded for so the point stands.
Tremaine Edmunds
Wrong again.

The fact they singed one year contracts does not mean they did not spend the money. If you would have said they are not committed to too many long term contracts, other than Edmunds, I would have not called you on it.

According to the market and player salaries it's QB, D-Line, WR, LT

I think the Market is wrong because it is easier to find D Line help and a WR than a stud LT. Put it QB, LT, DLine WR, and I buy in to that.

Spotrac, average positional salaries:
LT $8.4m, QB $6.1m, FS $5.4m, RT $5.3m, T $4.2m

It's early. I haven't had much coffee yet. My eyes are bad. So I encourage anyone to look for themselves.
I'll also be the first to say averages hide important details. But one thing it does away with is being blinded by what a team that has sucked for 35 years does vs what all the teams as a whole do.

If he’s a great RT for a decade, it was a great pick. I have high hopes for him.

Now just draft Fashanu, sign Connor Williams, and they’ll be in business.

Fashanu-Jenkins-Williams-Davis-Wright.
Would rather draft Van Pran for Center

Same.

Also, I think it's been proven we can't rely on Jenkins and need to either sign, or draft, his replacement.

I don't have a name but we can't count on him for next season.

Gonna honest if Wright anchors the right side for a decade I could not care less if Jalen Carter is the next Aaron Donald. Especially if they take Fashanu this spring. Having two perennially top tackles is such a luxury and will do wonders for whoever is at QB. It’s time this franchise value offensive linemen.

I agree and it's too bad. The offense played noticibly better when he was in there. Why did the coaches put Carter in in the 3rd Qtr?
