We don't have any 7th rd rookie OL, but 3rd rounders yes I would be fine with that if they show that they are the best players, which I believe they will
As do I. However I also understand one of these 3rd rounders dropped that far due to poor technique while the other is coming off of a knee injury. There's no doubt they WILL be our starters in the future. I'm just advocating we give them some time before we crown them "Day 1 Starters."

One of Moses or Long will be starting week 1.
Book it.

Regarding Offensive lines in general it's a good idea to have continuity in season with that group so I would think whoever wins a job in training camp/preseason will keep it barring injury or obvious struggles.
So I don't see the whole "work them in mid season" plan happening.

I would hope that whoever wins the job throughout camp and the preseason keeps it till the end of the season. If not, then the player is performing poorly and we probably aren't playing very well.
How many winning teams shuffle linemen in the middle of the year? Maybe the Ravens did it a couple of years ago (Super Bowl year?), but I could be wrong.

All the 1st hand accounts I've seen so far seem to think that Moses will need more time, but that Long could seriously challenge.
If both are ready, I'm fine with them both starting.
Sort of reminds me of the '81 skins when they started 2 rookies at Guard....next to a first time starter at Center. That turned out OK.
Hail!

I would like to see the o-line become:
LT: T. Williams
LG: Shawn Lauvao
C: Josh Leribeus
RG: Spencer Long
RT: Moses Morgan
The sooner we get this line up on the field, the better. Give them time to develop and play with each other in real action. Stop shelving young talent.

I would love a OL like that.

^^ I would too. My biggest concerns with that line-up is that it makes a couple of big assumptions: (1) Moses lives up to his talent and doesn't go all "Winston Justice" on us; and (2) LeRib gets his lard butt motivated and plays to his alleged potential. I think that one of those two things is unlikely to occur. I don't know which it will be although my money is on LeRib never becoming a serviceable lineman.
Obviously, there are assumptions about Luavao and Long too - I just think they are more likely to pan out.

I dunno...a football kinda looks like a meatloaf, I doubt LeRibeus would let go of it.

What type of football-shaped meatballs have you been eating?
