Anybody besides me nervous about offensive tackle?

As we all know, the best prospect for OT that is on the team right now is probably Bell, and I'm not sold on the idea that he can protect Cam on a consistent basis. Looking at the remaining OT's left in the draft, I really don't see anyone who has the ability to become a starter this season...  is this pretty much what everyone else is thinking or is there a hidden gem left that Dave will surprise us with?

I really trust Gettleman and Rivera to find an answer, even if just temporary. Lets be completely honest. Bell at LT would suck but it would not be the end of the world, and he would be good enough not to cause us to lose games. If we draft a OT in Rds 2 or 3, it's pretty likely he'll start at RT, maybe even LT, and while that would be a downgrade from Gross, it would be a huge upgrade over Bell (I understand he'll likely start at the other spot, but we have time to find a true answer, Bell will do just fine for now if it even comes to that). So we'd be in a similar position to last season, even with Bell starting. I'm a tad nervous, but I'm very far from worried about it.

Huddle says bell can't play LT

 

I am in the wait and see category myself.   I am sure there will be some OL drafted and then it's a best man up type of mentality.

Anyone can play any position. The question is will be be good. 

 

Bell sucks and unfortunately is our only T on the roster with any experience. What you expect Gross and the coaches to say?
