I would certainly give Cam a shot at RT; I think Cam would do well there, and Taylor's had two years at the spot to develop and compete for the spot. Whoever wins out gets the start day one; I do believe that it would still mandate some flexibility.

For example, if Robinson wins the competition, I still consider him the prime long-term backup should Little not be able to play. Taylor would then likely serve as a swing reliever at either spot on the right side. 

If Taylor keeps his spot at RT, Robinson is probably left to compete with Norwell for LG. Not sure we'd be able to get much in trade for a guy playing on the franchise tag who couldn't beat out a guy who hasn't really shown anything that phenomenal at RT.

If this all plays out this way (Little is a starter, and we have to find a place to fit Cam), this is a great dilemma to have.

I think he'd get a crack at guard and/or swing tackle duties until another team in tackle-trouble came calling for a trade. 

Stands to reason Cam could beat out AJ Cann at RG if Little won a start at LT.   
I tend to think Little will need some time to be ready to bump Robinson around the depth chart though.

Call me crazy, but unless someone is breaking the bank, or we are THAT confident in Bartch, I hold on to Cam this season if he doesn't beat Little for the LT position. I agree that Little is probably a year away from being a full-time fixture on the line, and I would be cautious putting all my eggs in his basket this year. Let's be sure the rust is knocked off and he's up to the grind of playing in the NFL before we send the next best lineman on the team away.
