We can take the cap hit this year, the contract can be done so that the last year isn't a huge hit and it stabilizes our line now. Still prefer we draft and develop our own.

Orlando Brown is still on his rookie deal and is only 24 years old. He is a proven 6' 8" 340 lb. proven commodity. Also with only one more year on his rookie deal, we lose nothing by letting him test free agency if he doesn't pan out.
I'm not against drafting a LT in parallel with a Brown trade, in fact I think it would be a wise move in a deep LT draft.
With that said, I'm not giving up our #1 for him.
