I think it's Jordan. They badly want him to be the guy. He's got the length and work ethic. He just needs to get a bit more grown man strength to handle NFL d-linemen. He wasn't intended to be a starter last year and got pressed into action after Boling left and Redmond got suspended. That's a big learning curve for a player of his caliber.
Boling was better than him as a rookie, but he still wasn't great. He also was not intended to be a starter as a rookie. Travelle Wharton was at the top of the depth chart at LG until he got injured in the preseason.
I'm hoping that MJ can follow Boling's trajectory. Clint was excellent once he adjusted to the pro game. A year of experience and an offseason of a NFL strength program may make Jordan into a guy we can depend on for the foreseeable future.
I think the right side is XSF's to lose. I don't see the rookie taking it from him, and I feel like Fred Johnson is a player that they view as an OT for sure.
