Kelemete and Lelitos spot to win.


If Kelemete has improved his pass protection...he will win the job. Kelemete is already the better run blocker

Whether he starts or not, Peat will play plenty. He'll be the first off the bench if either Strief or Armstead is hurt and he'll play the tackle eligible position.

Armstead isn't going anywhere. Dude has the potential to be a top 5 LT in the league.

Strief started breaking down a bit last year. He's still good but he's not young and has been getting nicked. It's not that complicated really.

While Lelito definitely needs to improve his play if he wants to be a starter, I believe that is a strong possibility that he actually can....He's young and will only get better with experience......Whereas I think our weakest point will be Jahri Evans, for as great as he once was he simply has not really even been good the last 2 years....He's going up in age and has also had injuries each of the last 2 years, so unlike Lelito, Evans I don't think will improve from what he was the last 2 years, I think his best days are behind him....I'm not 100% sold on Lelito by any means, but considering his chance for improvement I feel more comfortable with him than I do Evans.......With that being said I think we all would agree that both G spots last year were weak, though many point to Goodwin at C being the cause for that, I still saw Grubbs & Evans beat 1 on 1 toooo many times, and the point being is that we did not address this in the draft.....Lelito & Kelemente both looked encouraging in their spot duty last year considering their draft statuses and relative inexperience, but from what we've seen in game it isn't enough to make any of us feel that we shouldn't have tried to upgrade the G position in FA or the draft

I'm gonna be nervous going into the season with just he and Kelemete as our LG options. (which is another reason I wanted La'el). But as long as both stay healthy, I think he'll be fine at LG with Amsted/Peat on one side and Unger on the other.

Justin Blalock and Rob Sims were both solid last season and are still available. Would like to bring one in. Neither should cost too much.

OP, not really sure why you think Armstead struggles in space, one of his best qualities is working in space. Only game I really remember him struggling in was against the Ravens and Grubbs was getting skull drug the whole game.
