Don’t expect much out of Evan Engram either. Both RBs are coming off injuries so there’s a huge question mark at that spot. I have no idea what they will do with Shenault. He has no trade value. Maybe they go get the best available WR in the 2nd and 3rd. I gotta weird feeling Little will be a let down but I hope he wins a starting spot on the oline. I hope Cisco becomes a starter too.

You can't take what Urban did as "this player couldn't beat out this other player."

Cisco never even got the chance to start until after Urban was fired and he looked great.

Little actually did well when he played minus some normal rookie errors and he was coming off of not playing for two years. I could see Little winning the RT spot and us making Taylor move to LG. It would make the most sense imo.

In regards to Little not "beating out" Taylor, you also have to remember that Little exclusively played left tackle in college.  Right tackle would have been a brand new position for him.  While I think left tackles can generally transition to right tackle, it is an adjustment that can't be made on a dime.  Everything is reversed.  As such, it is understandable that the rookie Little who not only was new to the NFL but new to the position, might initially struggle when compared to a veteran.  I'm also unclear whether Little ever got "beat out" by Taylor.  Was he even really in competition at right tackle?  Being a left tackle, the coaches might have focused most of his practice time at left tackle in order to be Cam's backup with Richardson practicing mostly at the right tackle position.  I expect the story may be very different this year assuming Little goes into training camp with right tackle as his primary position.
