If Little can go, keep Daley at LT?

Daley can play guard. I would put little at LT and Daley at LG

I say stick with the hot hand.  If Daley struggles mightily, switch it up.

that is so racist

little should play if it's healthy, but both guys get jerseys for sure

Daley.  What a steal.  Hurney hit this draft out of the park (aside from Grier, but he could still be valuable eventually).

The main question is if Daley is a better LG than GVR. If he isn’t then you stick with Daley at LT. If Daley is better than GVR at LG then you have a major decision to make. Which is more important? Having the better LT or having the better combination of LG/LT with slightly worse tackle play? I really don’t know the answer to that question honestly. You don’t want the best players out there playing overall but poor guard play can be masked much more easily with doubles from the center whereas a tackle is generally on their own unless you want to sacrifice a TE to help block so that’s a factor.

All that hinges on Daley definitely being a better LT than Little which is also something we really don’t know yet. And even if Daley is slightly better then you have to factor in that Little likely has more growth potential. I do think it’s a fair assumption that Little is not capable of playing LG while Daley sticks at LT.

given the limited amount of games Little  and Daley have played.... I suspect the coaches have more data to draw from than we do and are in a better position to make that decision.

Nah... sadly, I'm OG.

Daley did well vs. Clemson at end of the season last year, and he was on the rise--considered to be very raw.  Maybe he just needed coaching.

Little would make a great G, by the way.  I thought that is where he should have been anyway..    Fwiw.

His measurables make him a T

I am not sure of the answer to the original question, but its nice that we have options.

 

Might be a good idea to keep Daley as the starter, and start working Little in for a few snaps.

You put the best 5 out there.  Personally, Little should rest if there's even a little bit of a doubt about his return.  When he returns, I think Little at LT and Daley at LG is your best combination and experience for what's, hopefully, our young future of the OL. Think, two rookies on the left side who are serviceable is a good step at having longevity at the OL.

First I’ve seen someone say that. Actually curious as to why you feel that way since everyone seems to peg him as an OT only due to him being more finesse than power.

As long as Daley is playing well I keep him at LT and maybe sub Little in and bring him back slowly. Nice to be able to say we have two competent tackles 

[Untouchable]

Can't speak to Little, but Daley is getting lots of help to not expose him.
