If Smith is healthy he's unquestionably the second best tackle on the roster as of now, and they're certainly not going to flip him and Taylor to the opposite sides they've been playing their whole careers just so they can have Taylor at LT. That would make little sense. You push off that plan to next year if need be after Taylor has a year in the system.
One way or another, we are going to have far better tackle play this year because you will either have Smith and Taylor out there, or Taylor will thrive at LT and Niang/Morris will ball out and end up as one of our 2 best tackles. This gives you many different options without having to force anything. It's a win-win move all around and we finally have depth at the position, which is so reassuring.

Dude, they aren't going to have their long term plan at LT play RT for a year because they could sign Donovan Smith on an incentivized deal.
And don't tell me Eric Fisher because that was a rookie. They signed Taylor, talked about his ability to make the switch and now suddenly before OTAs even get here....they're saying **** it for a year?
