It doesn't do them any good to "take a tackle" if they don't believe any of them are significantly better than what's already on the roster at #3 and #4. The only way to evaluate this is to see how the tackles do that they didn't take over the next three years.
Agreed about the OT position possibly not being to the Pats liking. With Thuney, it looks like the Pats have a guy who can be an interior OL quality starter, and his ability to play any OL position makes him incredibly valuable.
We could have used his versatility with the injuries that plagued the OL to the point that, I believe, they had only 6 OL active twice.
