O-Line Rankings Have Me Excited!

Nobody has that much OL depth.  Most teams struggle just to get 5 quality starters out there, much less have good depth.  Look at how KC's OL imploded a couple of years back against TB when they had to play some backups.  

I dunno if I would put Collins at LT honestly after seeing how he played last year.
We also haven't seen Collins play OG in years. It was only LG and only in 2015-2016.
While many believe an OG should be able to play both OG spots, we know it's not always a reality that they will play both sides well.

The way I see it for backups I'd be possibly confident in filling in:
LT - Carman
LG - Scharping (maybe Collins but it's been a while)
C - Hill probably the closest but I'd be nervous
RG - Not a damn person, but Collins maybe best option? Super nervous about that though since he's not played RG in a NFL game
RT - Collins only. Rest of the guys have been terrible there.

What does this mean for me?
I have 0 faith in Smith and Ford at any position at this point after seeing them in the preseason.
Cappa and Karras probably the guys that the team can least afford getting injured.
