I do not think Stephenson is a 16 game starter at LT, and neither does anybody else in this thread.
You're getting Alex Smith Mania for the next three-five years. Try, god please try to understand the importance of a serious investment at LT.

Why? The only way this team is winning !@#$ is if they have a fire-breathing defense or enough YAC pass catchers to make Smith look better. You can either zig when everyone else does and ensure that your 8-8 QB leads us to 8-8 or you can go after Floyd or Patterson and actually try to zag a little bit.
I don't care if we get Willie Roaf at LT - we'll still have a mediocre passing game. As such, why bother? Let's try to get the next Justin Smith and try to simply hide Alex Smith. Or go after the best CB in the draft and try to get teams to keep it on the ground and play to our 'strengths' - namely, ball control.
Using 1.1 on a LT is essentially multiplying by zero at this point - it just won't matter.
