Niang likely is the starting RT. But Long can play RT too in case of an injury.
I put Long at RT instead of Niang for the sake of the excercise, to not duplicate players while demonstrating that even our back up Oline is an NFL caliber starting Oline.
Consider that prior to the Brown trade, people were already rationalizing this as a competent Oline rebuild:
Niang/Thuney/Blythe/LDT/Remmers

I absolutely think Long, along with Remmers, can play RT. I just think Niang is probably going to be our best option with Long playing along side him at RG
