But I truly believe that Andy is adamant that he doesn’t want 2 rookie tackles with zero NFL snaps protecting his QB. I thinkthats why Remmers was told he would be a starter.
If Niang and Remmers are starting then we could easily hold off on OT until rd 2 and sit that player this year and groom them to take over in 2022.
It would be a nice way of building depth on the OL for this year and also building for the future

I don't see the point in trading up for Jenkins when the guys just after him who would probably be available at 31 would cost so much less in terms of draft picks.
If Jenkins is the 4th tackle off the board at say 25 rather than 20, then Cosmi is likely there at 31. I don't see the point in throwing away draft picks like that.
EDIT: At this point, I actually HOPE the plan is to have Niang at LT and Remmers at RT. I'd MUCH rather take a developmental tackle than put a bunch of extra picks into the position. This team NEEDS cheap playmakers going forward above everything else. I get that the goal is to protect Patrick Mahomes. The best way to do that is to build a team with as few weaknesses as possible. They need not only quality starters but quality depth and they need it to be cheap. You can't build a team that way by continuously trading away draft picks.
