How difficult is it to transition from OG to LT?

The backup LT is actually the RT, Fisher.  You could say that Andre is the backup RT, but I am hoping that Dielman can evolve in to that spot if he isn't given the opportunity to compete at Center, where they already have Bodine and TJ Johnson.  If Ced falls flat on his face this year, and I don't see that happening, look for Fisher to move to LT and them come up with a replacement at RT.  

It is much easier for a player with experience at LT to play Guard than the other way around.  The advent of the spread has created a dearth of tackles coming out of the draft.  Bust % seems abnormally high.  

Fisher seems the likely alternative.    He's been a T and has good feet. If Ced can't start on the O Line.. Smith was an okay RT.
I notice Hopkins has seemed a versatile surprise. Maybe he ends up in a spot?
