Has Saldiveri fallen down the depth chart?

I think the point is that we've been hit and miss projecting players to certain spots on the line and I think that's a fair criticism. I'd be nice to draft like we did with Fuaga all the time, granted even he switched sides.

With Big Carl and Jahri, we took later round flyers on a couple of guys that ended up working out. I couldn't count how many others didn't work out. And I have zero problem with that. The Andrus Peat and Penning type players in the first round are of much greater concern because they were technically misses that we found a use for outside of the original vision.

I just don't recall a lot of guys that failed when we moved them to a new position. Penning is actually better at RT than he was at LT and Fuaga looks very good at LT. Ruiz hasn't been good, but I don't think he would have been better at Center. And the jury is still out on Saldiveri who just can't stay healthy enough to practice in order to develop to the point that the might be able to play.

On the other hand you have Evans and Nicks who were huge successes.

Who am I missing that failed after a position move?

If the point is that Ruiz and Penning were reaches and they need to do a better job building the OL and drafting in general, then I don't disagree with you, but I don't the failure to have a better OL has anything to do with moving players to a new position and, as I said, Penning actually looks better at RT. Even Young who was drafted as and played RT actually has looked better at Guard.
