If it's Ekwonu or Neal, you start them inside at guard first. If Becton works out, that's best case scenario. If he doesn't, you cut ties after 2022 and move the #4 pick out to tackle.
2022 OL: Fant-AVT-McGovern-#4-Becton
I don’t disagree this is the most likely outcome, but what I don’t get is if we are good taking the #4 over pick and having them play OG for their entire career (with the assumption Becton and Fant both stay “long term” why are we against Linderbaum at 10 IF we get an edge at 4? To me you are drafting a player with a position in mind and that is plan A, if he can do other things that’s nice, but that’s not the reason you picked him, it’s because you think he can execute plan A at a high level. So if we are good with intentionally drafting a OG at 4, I don’t see the reasoning why taking a C at 10 is such a horrendous idea, especially since I think he can play OG as well.
Secondly, what’s the backup plan? What if an edge does fall to 4? What if Neal goes 1 and Ekwonu robs a bank? Are we praying Zion Johnson is there at 35? I don’t think that’s a viable prayer to hold onto
