We need to give Moore some love. When Trent couldn't go, it looked like gloom and doom, however, Moore has done very well. I know PFF has some faults but it is useful to see where players rank against each other. When we do that, Moore, adjusted for minimum snaps, ranks #14 among all tackles, left and right. His ratings are almost the same for run blocking and pass protection.
Do we have our future blindside guy?
I think early in his career he was always a good protector, he just had lots of mental blunders. I think he knows our system well now. I am afraid he's not going to stick around knowing he can start elsewhere now.
We'd really have to pony up and I fear we're in a horrible position. Unless Trent retires, and he won't after the reworked deal, our best bet might be begging Moore to stay and become the new starting LG.
A deal with a lot of the money in 2026 or later would work. Williams becomes less of an issue in 2026. A post-June 1 cut in 2026 nets us $25 million in cap space.
With nothing guaranteed in the draft, keeping Moore and focusing on Center seems to be the best play for the draft. It won't be easy. KC would have to do some maneuvering on their cap but they cannot go into next season with the mess they have this year at both tackle positions.
We can revitalize Williams and save his left ankle by using his right ankle more when moving him to RT. Then we can keep Moore at LT.
Sign Center Dalman and let Beau and Puni lock up Guards.. instant #1 OL 
If FA is the path, Dalman is a very good run blocker but his pass protection rating is below average.
A better target might be Coleman Shelton of Chicago. He is a much better pass protector than Dalman. His run blocking is just a touch below Brendel. Shelton is the highest-ranked FA Center right now. 30 years old next season, 6'4" 300.
