I still come back to RT and how much of a disaster it is. If Niang or Wanogho were viable options, they wouldn’t have enough in a vet starting LT, paid big money for a vet RT and also traded up for a 5 star recruit with the physical/athletic profile that fits this offense.
I don’t see Niang/Wanogho being anywhere ahead of the depth chart for those 3. I think they’re battling for that 4th and final spot.
IMO the only path to Taylor starting at LT with Smith on the bench is if Morris shows he is ready to start at RT like Creed and Trey showed in their rookie years.
At the moment that could happen, but I think the more likely avenue here is Smith/Taylor with Morris as the swing tackle preparing for a starting role in 2024.

You've got it wrong. It's pretty naive to pencil in a guy who signed an incentive deal after FA and the draft to be your LT....just because he's played LT before.
