@"Geoff Nichols" said: As of today my line looks like: 

LT: Cleveland / Hill 
LG: Reiff / Dozier 
C : Bradbury / Jones 
RG: Samia / Elflein 
RT: O'Neill / Udoh 

Rookie LT against Khalil Mack.  Twice.  Did Kirk Cousins make you the beneficiary of his life insurance policy? 

O'Neill at LT and Cleveland RT I could see.

very likely limited to no offseason to work live at a new position which will require him to reverse everything he has been doing for the last 2 years?   no way is that a good idea.  Leave ONeill at RT and dont even think like that again.

Udoh handled Mack the last game of the season...even pancaked him once.

Udoh is a nice prospect, still learning however. I think 2021 he might be the primary backup swing tackle and Rashod Hill will be gone. That would be a great development for a project like Udoh.

But then both of them are changing sides - that makes it worse IMO. Of course, O'Neill played LT in college so he ought to be OK, but he has clearly adjusted to RT.
Ezra Cleveland makes a lot more sense than Trent Williams if you don't expect the NFL to have a full season in 2020. Just sayin'.

@"Wetlander" said: I still feel like Collins could be a good LG if he could stay healthy...  and I think Samia will be our starting RG.  Do we release Kline if the coaching staff didn't feel like he was ready to take over?

Didn't Collins work at LG the preseason before he got hurt?

yeah so whats that have to do with moving ONeill to LT where he has no experience being a bad idea in an offseason that will likely see very limited live drills?  I also have my doubts about how prepared/motivated Mack was to play in what was a meaningless game,  not to take away from Udohs good showing,  but I am not ready to grant him a starting spot just yet.

Really any prospect you had with a starting grade would have been better than backing up the brinks truck for Trent Williams. There is no denying Trent's talent but an average contributor at LT for $1M against the cap is far more valuable than an all-pro at $17M+. Not that Trent is a "sure thing" but you know what you're getting more than in Cleveland.

Don't disagree with anything you're saying, but there's one factor you're not mentioning: if we pull off the trade for Trent, we don't have to draft the OT at #58....and so any one of those players who went between Cleveland and Dantzler are in play for us. For example, DJ Wonnum becomes Josh Uche, KJ Osborne becomes Denzel Mims, James Lynch becomes either Madubuike, Gallimore or Elliott.  Not advocating for any of those players, but you get my drift...

The cap implications of trading for Williams was a bigger concern for me than the draft capital. I do hope that drafting Cleveland and in general their effort to get rid of expensive players & get dramatically younger will get the team out of cap Hell. Though I kind of suspect that Spielman may not want to give up getting compensation picks every year & may continue a measured approach to FA even when the cap opens up.
