LT - Cam Robinson
LG - Ezra Cleveland
C - Tyler Biadasz - Signed in FA.
RG - Christian Haynes - Drafted in RD2.
RT - Anton Harrison

or

LT - Cam Robinson
LG - Graham Barton - Drafted with the 17th pick.
C - Luke Fortner - Potential replacement in Zack Zinter or Sedrick Van Pran drafted in RD3.
RG -  Robert Hunt - Signed from Miami in FA. Biggest pick-up financially in the off season potentially.
RT - Anton Harrison

Perfect scenario for me?

LT - Anton Harrison - Moved after Cam Robinson is cut.
LG - Walker Little - Draft Javion Cohen with the 115th pick to compete with him.
C - Zach Frazier - Drafted 48th overall. Fortner moved to back-up role. Can still compete.
RG - Robert Hunt - Signed by Miami after Brandon Scherff is cut.
RT - Amarius Mims - Drafted 17th overall.

Also, just like last year. It wouldn't shock me one bit if Baalke trades out of the 17th pick and takes Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton or Duke's Graham Barton somewhere in the 20's to play RT as a rookie with Anton Harrison moving over to LT. Wouldn't shock me one bit.

If he can pick-up a future pick with a 2nd RD pick in this draft he'll probably do it.

I think we gotta move on from this notion that Little is a guard.

He is a tackle and shouldn't step on the field as a guard again.

This might be the biggest bomb that was dropped today. Pederson mulling over taking back play calling duties.

I disagree with Walker Little. I think you have to try and maximize him somewhere at some point. He's a former 2nd RD investment now entering year four. He's been kicked around at tackle and guard. If this team is dead set on bringing back Cam Robinson at LT, and, you're invested with a quality 1st RD pick used in Anton Harrison at RT?

Where does that leave Walker Little? A bust of a 2nd RD investment sitting on the bench as a swing tackle? I just can't see it. I can see them trying to make him play LG or maybe even RG while adding a key free agent or draft pick to hold the opposite position down or at least push him, hence, the Javion Cohen selection in RD4 for me out of Miami, FL. 

That is an interesting tidbit though with the play calling. It's at least put out there now and it shows that there's now a true sense of urgency with it being year three for this staff on offense, and, year four for Lawrence. They're going to have to make sure they leave no stones unturned out there or it could very well cost multiple people, if not, the entire staff their jobs in 2024.

Seems like a lot of walking back now though with today's comments. Especially with Pederson. All of a sudden they went from "Press was fine, the offensive line was fine, just needed to stay healthier" as soon as the season ended and the press was in their face in January to, "Press maybe isn't fine, maybe I do need to take the play calling duties back over and maybe the offensive line needs to be looked at more carefully".
