We've forced him to play RG and he's never really looked comfy there. He looked way better at LG and decent at tackle. He was always a tackle. Keeping him to the left side should be priority.
I don't want him as the future LT, I want us to draft a first or second round prospect with potential.
He might be better at his natural position than he is at where they put him at times, but that's really not saying much

But I kinda get what you're saying... maybe just kept him at LT and developed him there instead of switching him around. That definitely could've helped. But you know the staff #FAFO
I wish they would've drafted a couple more (didn't have to be early rounds) and tucked them on the PS to groom. I think they might try to buy one (like Trent) instead of develop one from day one, but wth do I know
