Both of our tackles went down last season at some point, and in a 17 game regular season plus playoffs, it will be a luxury for us to have him on the roster as he can step in and play tackle in a pinch. Plenty of experience out there.

Good call. Here's the current roster line-up for the OL group:

Ben Bartch
Chandler Brewer
Luke Fortner
Blake Hance
Walker Little
Jimmy Murray
Cam Robinson
Brandon Scherff
Tyler Shatley
Cole Van Lanen
Josh Wells
Darryl Williams
Coy Cronk
Anton Harrison
Cooper Hodges

There's 15 guys in total. I bolded the guys that I know will be on the roster, due to cap situation, experience, play, etc. That's eight right there. So, really, his competition boils down to six other guys. I am not 100% sure how many you have to have on your roster and how many must be active on gamedays but you certainly need 5 for starting purposes and then I would guess to say at least another 4 - 5 guys on the roster. 

His competition really is:

Cronk
Williams
Van Lanen
Murray 
Hance
Brewer

I hope he honestly gets a shot at both, guard and tackle. Would just increase his odds of making it. I can't tell you [BLEEP] about any of these guys above, outside of Van Lanen. Who, I recall we traded for last year during the off season and I think he came in for one play at RG, when Scherff's helmet came off, annnnnd, he completely [BLEEP] the bed. He was blown up and the play resulted in a turnover or a big loss I think.

Hodges has a chance though. I would think we keep 9 players in the group in total on the roster. Just finish as a top 2 out of that group of 6 (7 counting him) and he'll have a job come September. They could also always be in the market for trading some of these players away. Cam Robinson would be my first guy to move on from via trade but it's hard to do that given his suspension and cap hit. I wouldn't rule out Bartch as a potential trading candidate.
