So, we either have to get those 3rd round caliber guys by getting extra picks (trade back) or by picking up mid tier FAs (decent talent).

My goal would be OG in FA. DE/DT with first 2 picks, and then ease the pain of the TG loss by getting a versatile RB, legit 3rd receiver, and quality TE.

If we let our offense regress to mediocre, we're a 7-9 team.

Everyone keeps clamoring for a free agent Guard, but quite honestly there aren't any out there that grab my eye. From NFL Trade Rumors:

Guards:
Rich Ohrnberger – ARI
Garrett Reynolds – ATL
Chad Rinehart – BUF – (RFA)
Andy Levitre – BUF
Mike Pollak – CAR
Lance Louis – CHI
Chilo Rachal – CHI
Derrick Dockery – DAL
Evan Dietrich-Smith – GB
Antoine Caldwell – HOU
Seth Olsen – IND – (RFA)
Joe Reitz – IND – (RFA)
Tony Hills – IND
Steve Vallos – JAC
Bryan Mattison – KC – (RFA)
Russ Hochstein – KC
Nate Garner – MIA
Jamey Richard – NE
Donald Thomas – NE
Brian Waters – NE
Kevin Boothe – NYG
Brandon Moore – NYJ
Matt Slauson – NYJ
Alex Parsons – OAK – (Ex)
Cooper Carlisle – OAK
Jake Scott – PHI
Ramon Foster – PIT
Doug Legursky – PIT
Tyronne Green – SD
Rex Hadnot – SD
Louis Vasquez – SD
Leonard Davis – SF
Chris Williams – STL
Kevin Matthews – TEN – (RFA)
Kyle DeVan – TEN
Leroy Harris – TEN
Deuce Lutui – TEN
Kory Lichtensteiger – WAS
Vince Manuwai – FA
Rob Turner – FA

The only notable players on that list are Brian Waters (who turns 36 next month) and Andy Levitre, who has played LG his entire career.
