This is simply a case of throwing Penning at a wall to see if he sticks.
He isnt a LT. I think Ram retires before TC. So we have a O line is bad shape, and the hope of Ram returning to his former glory seems to be all be squashed. We have a 1st round pick, and a massive problem that is our o line. We dont have a choice but to throw him at RT and hope he figures it out.
I would not count on it. I think Penning is cooked as a NFL player. Same with Payton Turner. But 1st round picks get every opportunity to fail before they are turned loose.
