Walker Little graded out just fine at left tackle, he only moved because he's better at guard than the guards we had and PEDSRob couldn't play guard at all. That's more on how bad the guard situation was than how Little plays.

If we are going by grades your boy Ezra Cleveland was about as bad as Fortner,   Now that's bad.  I've been Littles biggest supporter but his play declined a bit last year.  I do think if we give him a full camp at LT though maybe he can get back to his 2022 form.  Then we don't have a swing tackle if Little or Ton goes down though.  I'd be good with either decision at LT and I'd be good with Harrison at LT as well.  LT on this team is the least of my worries

That's because you don't comprehend nuance in the grading. From weeks 1 to 6 Cleveland was rated at 73.8, which is right in line with his season grade from 2022, so relatively consistent. He broke his foot in week 7 and didn't play again until after he was traded here in week 11, after which it's obvious he wasn't right. It's pretty clear that Baalke brought in an guy who wasn't healthy and that's why it took them so long to get him on the field here. Meanwhile, the guy you're attempting to say is the same graded 44 and 49 respectively in his two years. So, yeah, another stellar example of why should of read before you posted.

Little meanwhile, averaged 70.1 in the first five games before they moved him to guard and got hurt. That number is 2 points better than his rookie year and 9 points better than 2022 when you said he played better. The simple fact is that he's a perfectly fine left tackle and moving him to guard injured him and made this line worse.  They should've cut Robinson last year when they had an out for that ridiculous contract and rolled with Little at tackle all year. It's too bad they're going to double down on that error again this year.
