How about Dillon Radunz drafted towards the end of the 2nd, put in at LT for the Titans and moved to OG the next season?
Sam Cosmi was drafted mid-2nd to be a LT, they moved him to RT in camp then ended up moving him to RG a year or two later.
Robert Hunt went from RT to RG the following year.
That's not considering some 1st rounders. Mekhi Becton, LT to RT to RG. Tyler Smith LT to LG, etc.
So, it can be a thing is all I'm pointing out here.
It's the best-case scenario that Suamatatai stays at LT and you hedge that with a vet like re-signing Humphries. I HOPE for that. It just may not be reality. I honestly hoped to at least see him get reps at RT before getting reps at LG but that's not what they did. It doesn't bode well.

Sure, but he was a talented but raw prospect.
Moving him to guard before Year 2 is nothing but a panic move, IMO.
