I still feel his most natural position is RG though. He was a 5th year senior at Kentucky I believe and he only played the Center position his final year. 

Still very much a greenhorn there when he entered the NFL. Good chance he gets work in behind Scherff this summer and preseason at RG. This then makes him and Hodges potentially interchangeable when and if needed in swing positions. I actually like what this competition for the whole group looks like.

You have Walker Little duking it out with Javon Foster more than likely as the primary swing tackle. You'll now have Fortner and Hodges duking it out with primary swing Center & Guard duties. 

Was wrong earlier about Hance. We didn't trade for him. I was thinking of Van Lanen I think out of Green Bay instead. Either way, historically, Baalke will try and patch up a weakness via trade or free agency before or mid regular season. He has a tendency to do this.

Last minute August OL additions going back to 2021 include:

McDermott
Traore
Daryl Williams (decent backup center IMO) 
Van Lanen 
James Murray
Blake Hance


And this year we did see the addition of a G/C in June named Jack Anderson - a 7th round pick in 2021

I'd bank on a camp cut addition to come along via waiver wire at the least.
