I think he is going to be the starting left guard.

Ryan Tucker is good depth, but I would still like to have Tucker and Wade play one tackle each and spend their offseason playing exclusively on one side so that they can balance their weight properly in preperation to be called upon.

RT and LT is very similar to 2B and SS in baseball from what I understand. In the words of Mike Zimmer "both positions are fundamentally similar, but I was a career SS, and when I moved to second base, it felt like I was playing on one leg."

I'd rather have Tucker specialize at LT, Wade at RT, and go out and find a guard. But if you have to have somebody play the interior, Wade's probably the best lineman we have for the job right now.
