Mailbag: Drafting O-Line Help Early? Could Rico Gathers Play Tackle?

MARCUS CONNELL

Rico Gathers seems to be taking too long to make the switch from college basketball to NFL tight end, plus he's 6-6, 290, and very athletic, so why not move him to offensive tackle? If he excels at it (and my bet is he would), we could possibly move La'el Collins back to guard and still draft a prospect in the later rounds to fill the swing tackle position. Your thoughts?

Bryan: Gathers is taking his time to develop because he lost a season to a nasty hit that he took in training camp.
