HUGE question mark on Long. You can't speak in absolutes today. Neither can I. Maybe you're right, maybe he is limited to Guard, maybe he's not even a servicable backup at either position. Veach knows better than you and I... So his draft actions next week will tell the story. Even then, we won't really know what we have in Niang and Long until games start.
Again, I'm not advocating for two tackles early, but there is a scenario where it may make sense depending on Veach's personal thoughts.
