They took the best available OT on the board and changed his position, based upon where they needed him to play. That's what NFL teams do. If Little was truly good enough to beat out Taylor at this point, he'd be our starting RT.

Some players can make the switch better than others.  It looks like the was the case with Sewell and possibly the case with Little as well.  Little might feel much more comfortable and luck much better on the left side so they are just keeping him on that side with Richardson the backup RT.

If that was the case with Little, he should be able to beat out Cam Robinson at LT and Robinson should be moved to RT. You can't tell me that we have two (starting quality) LT's on the roster and neither one has the ability to move to the right side and beat out one of the worst RT's in the NFL. The most likely scenario is that Little has not shown the ability to beat out either Robinson or Taylor. Having him sit on the bench when Taylor has played so poorly is not instilling any confidence in Little's abilities to start at LT for the long term.
