I'd say so far left tackle has been one of the positions we've gotten reasonably satisfactory play from. Sure he could be upgraded, but there's no guarantee a second round pick will be a day one starter at that position.

That being said the position is valuable enough that if Little can become a good player down the road then it was worth taking him.

The real disappointment of the draft is Campbell. He was taken 33rd overall, at a place where first round level players were still available, and he's been godawful. If any move puts Meyer's job in jeopardy it should be that one.

LT is not really the issue. The issue is Little not being able to crack the starting lineup after being selected so high. Whether or not he plays at RT or LT, he should have been starting by now. Jawaan Taylor is terrible. He is by far the weakest link on the O-Line. If Little can't play RT, then he should be put at LT right now and Cam Robinson should be starting at RT. Between Little and Robinson, one of them should be an upgrade over Taylor. There is no way one of them shouldn't be able to move to RT and upgrade this O-Line. If Little truly was worth where he was chosen, he should be starting somewhere on this O-Line, especially with all the injuries we have suffered lately. We need to start bringing in O-Line who are more diverse, so that they have the ability to play more than one position at a high level. When injuries hit, you need to be able to move your "chess pieces" around to fill the holes.
