At the same time, I also don't consider Shelton a liability by any means. Can they upgrade from him? Or at least plan for an heir apparent past 2024? Sure. But I don't see center as a position to panic about either. Continuity on an OL matters and I'd be fine with him back starting in 2024.
Which one makes for a stronger OL:
Option 1 - ROOKIE / Avila / Shelton / Dotson (FA) / Havenstein
or
Option 2 - ROOKIE / Avila / Williams (FA) / Jackson / Havenstein
I'd say 2 is much stronger. In fact that interior 3 might be dominant and we're not risking Dotson putting his feet up with the contract.
Also and by the way a draft pick works at Center too. Because having a QB of the quality of Stafford lowers the requirement on the mental side for that young center in his calls. We have way more room for error for him to start than many other teams.
