Evans is more NFL ready. How about taking Howard at 95 and Evans at 108?
I like that as a long term addressing of the tackle position. One guy could play RT, one could start the process of moving on from Solder's deal. I like Solder, but if he can be replaced for a cheaper contract...
I can’t think of many successes.... Good RTs turn into very mediocre LTs.
I think the idea is less "converting" a good RT into a LT than giving a natural left tackle a year or so to learn the pro game and adjust to its speed, without the added pressure of protecting the blind side. So the guys who make the transition successfully tend to have played the left side in college, before being drafted by teams that had the option/luxury/need to start them out on the right.
I'd be just giddy if we drafted an OL that could be a servicable Â
Cue The Twilight Zone Theme.

The cut of your jib......I likes it.
Go late 2nd or very early 3rd
I guess Solder did it after 1 year at RT, but not many others. Good RTs turn into vert mediocre LTs.

Tyron Smith, Jason Peters.
Kelvin Beachum.
Always a guy who turns out better than projected and my prayer is we draft that guy...a FEW TIMES!
