Well, it is that easy. The Pats needed a LT back in 2011 because they knew Light was retiring and then he stepped in the next year as the starting LT.
It maybe was "that easy" back in 2011, and when the Pats had the #17 overall pick.
They're highly unlikely to have such a high pick this season, and the fact that college OT prospects (and OL prospects generally) from the past 3-4 draft classes have been having a much more difficult time adjusting to the NFL game than in the past has been pretty widely noted and discussed.
