he can play RT,Steele's future is uncertain.
They may try different combinations in TC. Also in OTA's, look for Tyron at RT, as well as others, until Steele is ready to practice.
I can almost bet my house that Steele starts TC on PUP. Since I have not seen any progress on his rehab.

However that also depends if Peters is brought back. If not, look for Ball and Waletzgo at RT in OTA's.
Unless they draft an OL.

They can always sign this type of players, post draft.
For sure. But at some point we do need to draft to replace Zack/Tyron. If Tyler replaces Tyron that’s fine but then that opens Tyler’s spot at LG.

It's a need, but thing adding a weapon or two might be more important.

Agreed to an extent. But the second an OL is out if we don't have reliable depth there we are screwed. If a veteran is a temporary fix we better hope he can play well enough and also stay on the field.

OL depth is certainly important, especially with Tyron an even Martin aging. All for drafting a future starting guard on day 2, if the value is there

Agreed. With WR/HB it comes down to either you draft those early or you get guys in FA. Seems like drafting a HB makes the most sense. WR we have more options (FA/trade) that could land us a talented guy.

Still have to see how the rest of fa plays out.

At LT? I dont know who you can be certain about that. When healthy in '21 & playing consitantly at LT he was playing at elite level.

We haven't seem him heathy at LT for a while now.

That said, I like Tyler in the spot going forward.
Must prepare for the future,

I've beaten the drums for Tyler Smith since we drafted him, and I'm one of Tyler's biggest fans of him at LT. Leave him there so he can grow into the position. He is a Pro Bowl starter in the making, and maybe an All-NFL or two is in his future. Go out and sign a proper left guard for this team (Jerry, Issac Seamalo is out there and he played LG before the Eagles drafted Dickerson and moved him to RG--Jerry???).

We have a chance to have Tyler Smith and Steele develop together and be bookend tackles for the next ten years.

LT--Tyler Smith
LG--Issac Seamalo
C--Biadasz
RG--Martin
RT--Steele

Backups/swing: Tyron Smith, Farniok, Waletzko.

I have very little doubt that this line could be top 5 in the NFL.
Larry Allen was drafted to be the future LT and they plugged him in at LG when he wasn't filling in at RT for an injured Erik Williams. Then they got Flozell Adams (to replace Mark Tuinei) and just kept him there.
