He has tackle experience , and a lot of it.  I think he will be our RG for many years to come and could slide over to RT if an injury created the need.  That is why I was hoping they would draft Spencer Brown instead of Ossai to be the developmental RT that could take over next year.  

My ideal scenario is Reiff plays well enough to earn another year, and by 2 seasons from now, D’Ante Smith has put on enough weight to play at the next level (he’s already got the size and arm length to play OT). Two years in a NFL weight room and training program that should be achievable.

Carman I hope is at OG long term.
