I think penciling in Raimann as the starter at LT is fine, but due to the criticality of the position I think we should bring in at least a better backup swing OT in case Raimann doesn't progress/regresses or he and/or Smith get hurt. Could be either a decent FA (not a low level castoff) or a day 2 draft pick.
This is something Ballard has failed to do and not just at OT (DE, WR, etc.).
