You're just patching up one hole for it to spring a leak at a more complex position IMHO. LG should be easier to transition a rookie into Vs. trying to throw a rookie right on in at RT. Just my opinion. You also have Bartch and Shatley back.

Now, obviously the draft could play a role in this scenario. But, tackles tend to go higher than guards and you would think it's very real that we have the pick of the little at Guard with the 24th spot. Or, at least in a position to land somebody solid in RD2 that offers swing ability. 

I think Wypler out of OSU or Mauch out of North Dakota St. make the most sense for this team in 2023 and beyond because they offer immediate value as starters at Guard/Center and in Mauch's case? He can jump outside when/if needed down the road. 

Just don't like the idea of taking Little and plugging him at LG. When RT is going to be a massive concern if Taylor is not retained. He was still one of the better pass protectors we had and that shouldn't be taken for granted.

to answwer the question as simply as possible, I don't think he fit well at RT. I don't think his future is at RT. I don't want him confusing his mechanics with prolonged play at RT.

He played much better once he started relieving/replacing Cam. Let em duke it out in preseason if you want, if we're honest I think Cam would be a monster at RT, but I have a feeling that the paygrade is going to dictate where he plays. You don't pay RTs 16M, which is a dumb mindset, but it's the way the league tends to behave. I was just accepting that reality in my prediction.
