I understand your thought process as well, Ford is simply not an RT. From a win perspective, how much better is a Dawkins, Turner, Morse, Feliciano/Ford than Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford? I'm not sure how many more wins that translates to. I feel like this move allows you to move on from Long and you keep Felciciano as depth, but meh.
It won't screw with the cap that much either. If you want to prioritize needs, RT >>> than any other OL position
It's an upgrade, but meh
