Outside help:
1) Dalton Risner, 30 years old
PFF: O 67.0 (42/136), Pass block 76.2 (13/126), Run block 57.4 (96/136).
Counts: 537 snaps (65/136); 0 penalties (1/136), 0 sacks (1st), 1 hit (38th), 16 pressures (71st).

Great pass block, penalty, and sack numbers. 16 pressures in in 537 snaps isn't great, and neither is the run blocking. 537 snaps is also not a full season

Played all 537 at RG last year, and has history of playing at LG.

2) Brandon Scherff, 33 years
PFF: O 64.7 (53/136), Pass 74.5 (19/136), Run 57.3 (97/136).
Counts: 1,013 (31st), 2 penalties (55th), 0 sacks (1st), 1 hit (38th), 17 pressures (76th).

Very similar grades to Risner. Much better in pass pro (top 20) and mediocre run block. Scherff's 0/1/17 sack/hits/hurries line is almost identical to Risner's 0/1/16, but comes in 625 pass block sets to Risner's 345. 

Scherff had 2 penalties to Risner's zero, but in almost twice as many snaps. Career RG.

Shaq Mason is also an option, but is a step down. 

If you gove me a Scherff or Risner choice, I'd take Scherff. Though he probably will be more expensive, might retire, and is a shorter term solution. 

The latter part does not bother me (much), as I would pick another G high in the draft or spend in FA to solve it. Of course, I would have done that THIS year, so who knows with our FO. 

OT3 is also a problem. Ford stinks. I'd have brought Trent Brown back  

Scherff announced his retirement. Apparently he retired earlier this year, but just recently communicated it.
