Using our 2nd on a Restricted FA Left Tackle via Trade?

Since we've been going back and forth for months about 1st rd QB vs 1st rd LT(basically bradford vs okung), lets take a look at another scenerio that has been mentioned, but could also be an option for our LT needs.

I feel from reading and discussing some of these topics with a lot of you, that people are not sold on JC, but don't want to draft a QB until we address our OL. So, as this has been mentioned by a few on this board, as well as some respected NFL analysts, how about a trade involving a restricted FA LT?

Both Gaither from the Ravans and McNeil from the Chargers are options that may be avaliable via trade. For Gaither, our 2nd rd pick, and a player(maybe Moss), could possibly get a deal done. For McNeil, I imagine the same scenerio, our second and a player(not sure who they would want) could move a deal forward. Both of these players could be gone next season via unrestricted FA, so these teams could be smart to get a pick for them now.

If this were to take place, we could still move JC to re-gain that 2nd rd pick via another trade. Or, we could elect to keep JC and select a future QB in the first or go with a guy like Spiller in the first.

Thoughts.
