So much depends on the scheme. If we're not gonna allow Icky to be a mauler at LT then he can't play LT.

I see your point, and that is correct.  There have been some indications about a lot of "under center" play action, etc, but I have not seen anything yet.   I think, however, we are in a good situation because we have BC who would be more finesse -- it could be as simple as swapping them, but I would hate to think the #6 overall draft pick from 2022 is our LG.  I am not that confident that Corbett will make a full return to average RG play.

I've said for awhile I'd have an open competition at LT in camp between Icky and Christensen with the plan to Olay the loser at LG. It is what it is. Getting an OG at #6 is disappointing but getting a LT in the 3rd is a steal so it all washes out.
