Maybe this is why at times we have a hard time opening up holes for the running game as well.
Would you draft a OT in the later rounds?

What she said. This is a reasonably deep draft for OT.It's hard to imagine that drafting an OT in the later rounds is likely to upgrade the OL. Light-Kaczur-O'Callaghan-Britt isn't a bad group at all (and already includes 3 second-day draft picks from the past two years). If BB thinks he needs an upgrade, he could surprise with a Joe Staley or Tony Ugoh in rounds 1-2.
I have no issue with the concept of upgrading at OT, acquiring a more talented OL at any point in the draft isn't waste in my book. I believe the Pats will need to acquire 2nd day/UDFA players for camp/Practice Squad slots at very minimum.Off/Def Line play is all about physically imposing your will on your opponent.
Our current group is above average. Light is a current Pro bowler, Mankins and Koppen are on the cusp of future pro bowls. That leaves the opportunity for upgrades on the right side of the line.
If the right palyer is available in the right spot, I can not think of any reason why BB would pass, unless he had the opportunity to upgrade another area.
O'Callaghan is a low cost OL, we can hope he is well and has a productive season, he at least gets an off-season program to develop further.
ot could def be upgraded
although i only see it happening if someone we really loves falls to us early
as for kaczur, i think a lot forget hes actually 27
