The team will talk to him before we franchise him.  If he tells the team that he doesn't want to play RT and Pederson likes Little at LT, it would be idiotic to tag him and deal with that distraction.  A new staff doesn't need that headache and it's not worth it to deal with that

Why would the new staff even put themselves in that situation?  Why would Pederson want to do that?  Get a distraction right off the bat even when there is better options out there and Cam isn't even worth the franchise tag in the first place.  I'm pretty sure Pederson wouldnt want that distraction and headache right off the bat when he can go a different direction and upgrade

He stone walled a great d-line. I don’t even know why there is all this talk about left tackle. He is already on the team. I would rather go with a guy who has actually already played some NFL games and been excellent, rather than draft a guy at number 1 overall who is a theoretical project at the NFL level. I’m fine with taking a right tackle at the top of round two though.

Agreed with Little, but if they feel Neal can be an All Pro at RT I'm good with taking a RT at 1 if he's a great one.  Would be very beneficial for Trevor

It would be idiotic to name a starting LT before camp even started. I would sit down and explain to both Robinson and Little that there will be an open competition for the starting LT spot. The runner-up would be the starting RT. Make the winner earn it, that way the one who loses out and moves to RT knows they had a chance to be the LT. There should be no whining and pouting about moving to RT, when they had a shot to be the starting LT and lost out.
