You could get 80% of Darrisaw or Slater in Round 2 drafting Eichenberg or Radunz. It's the same reason I wouldn't take a WR before round 3, the class is so deep. Now, if Ojulari isn't there, definitely draft a OT, or possibly trade down if Darrisaw or Slater aren't there.
Or let's just sign Eric Fisher and have the best OL in the NFL for the next 5 years.

We do a rotation, we need to replace Autry’s snaps with someone versatile and spell Buckner at times while also replacing Stewart on third downs in a pass rush package. Autry had the second highest number of snaps on the defensive line. A FA DE would eat some of those snaps. But still need someone else on the interior at times to pair with Buckner besides Stewart. One injury and we have a huge hole on the interior.
I don’t know if they are looking at Ojulari. He is pretty light, I could see a later round pick on an Elerson Smith or Payton Turner. I think they go DE in FA.
I wouldn’t mind Fisher, assuming he recovers. But I don’t know if they can afford anything but a rookie contract at LT. Kelly is the highest paid center in the league. Smith is about to get a good payday. Nelson is about to be the highest paid guard in the league. That rookie contract is about to be very valuable.
