Giving him 1 year to develop and then turning over the RT job to him the following season if he shows hes capable.

I like Long but not Fragel, who looks a bit clumsy and uncoordinated IMO.
Pugh out of Syracuse is as good a tackle as I've seen this year, but I'm on the side that says there's no need to take an OT that high. We're not as flush in draft picks as usual this year, so you need to figure that BB would prefer a few trade backs for some additional picks. I think more than anything else, we need to come out of this draft with a dynamic safety.
Tag number is too high for OL. 9.6M Everyone knows he has a balky back. Another team isn't going to throw a lot of money at him because of that. How many RT's in football do you trust 1 on 1 with guys like Wake? He deserves a raise. Very underpaid. Pretty good sized signing bonus so we can spread it out and not get a huge cap hit this year.
Is Fragel or Long a better prospect than Marcus Cannon? Now that he's beaten lymphoma, I'd say no. Marcus can play RT. If he's there instead of Sea Bass you might give him a little help against a great pass rusher. But, you would do the same with any young tackle we bring in where we are picking.
