Right Tackle

1. Riley Reiff
2. Michael Ola

Assuming Decker holds off Reiff at left tackle, Reiff immediately becomes the new starting right tackle replacing Michael Ola. If Decker fails to lock down the left side, slot him in as the starter at right tackle but with Decker the number one left tackle in this projected depth chart, Reiff is penciled in as the number one on the right side.

Unlike at left tackle where Reiff would move over to take over for Decker on the left side in case of injury, an injury to Reiff would see Decker stay put with the expectation that Ola would come in in relief.

Ola started at right tackle last season and helped solidify the right side after LaAdrian Waddle and Cornelius Lucas failed to hold down the position. It was wise to upgrade over Ola, but he can be good depth and earned the right to be the next man up at right tackle.

Next: Left Guard
