I think there’s at least a 75% chance you’re absolutely correct. Here’s the reasoning for the other 25%.
In his PC he says he will play either side. Wherever the team needs him. Clearly the team said that’s their outlook for him.
Andy values both OTs equally.
Andy let both starting OTs walk.
Here’s what I think they will do…
Andy and Veach will draft the best OT with the athletic traits required to play in this system at a high level (handle speed rushers, be able to move and block open field on screens, sweeps and misdirection Andy loves calling) in an effort to fix the OT spots and will decide where they play when they get to practice.

They aren't gonna blow the guy out and pay him high end LT money when he's never done it, but clearly, the intention is he's playing LT. They didn't need to make him the highest paid RT to get him, unless they clearly intend to switch him over.
He's their LT. It may or may not work out, but if they draft a guy, they're not putting the rookie draft pick at LT>
