i think hicks was a great signing for his versatility alone. he may not even start if Rinehart continues to impresses Shanahan. If both of them play equally well, the edge goes to rinehart, as it would minimize the line shufling required if another player goes down. I like the idea of hicks being our #1 backup at all the guard and tackle positions. IMO his best shot to start is RT unless we fill that need elsewhere in the offseason. We don't have a starting caliber LT on the team at this point. Clifton was the only "quality" one out there and i'm using that term loosely. If the position isnt somehow addressed before (or during) the draft, i'm very scared for whoever is our QB in 2010.
