Don't OL get moved around all the time when they go from college to the NFL? I don't think this is unique to the Steelers.

Because guys like Dunker have basically no chance of making it at OT in the NFL. So they kick inside.

Jones was better as a RT than he was as a LT. I think his best play for us was right when he started at RT. Maybe that's because other teams didn't have film on him yet though.

IMO, the reason he seems to have failed is more because he was super-raw (fewer college games than Max). We made a bet on the traits and that we could turn him into a long time NFL starter. Not a bad bet toward the end of the 1st round IMO. Because you aren't going to get "clean" LT prospects where we picked Jones (or Max).

Guard is easier to play then tackle, thats why the less athletic ones kick inside.

Going from LT to RT and vice versa is hard to do because you have to rewire your brain and do everything backwards. Some can do it, some cant, the ones that can become more valuable.
