While Wylie's overall wasn't the greatest he didn't allow a single sack this year (first among all Tackles). For all intents and purposes I wouldn't look to upgrade RT just for continuity sake. If Cosmi comes back strong, the strength of our line rests between Bia, Cos, and Wylie. Allegretti definitely needs to be upgraded however, and Coleman while serviceable at LT, is not what I want blocking JD5s blind side for years to come. Allowing 9 sacks on the year he was one of the worst tackles graded by PFF in that regard.

To me this is where stats are deceiving. I thought the OT's were a weak link to the OL in all games Biadasz was out or distinctly slowed by injury. quite a number of games. Wylie's main trait is inconsistency. He can look good in spurts but you know he is going to giant mistakes and whiffs. JD's maneuverability is the only reason more people aren't yelling for Wylies head.
Coleman was not great but he was serviceable. They drafted him for LT because of his athletic abilities, smarts and the fact that he was still a bit raw and they felt he could be made into a starter on the outside with a move inside if that theory failed. He is still learning and should improve, I expect they plan to keep him out there unless a major LT option becomes available and doesn't cost too much. It is a shame but I don't see him being able to shift to RT.
I hope they draft a T early that they can at least try at T and move inside if need be or one that has experience and appears to be able to handle either side at T.
They should address IOL in FA and a late draft pick
