We need all available TEs active moving forward.

IF Tippman & Brown can play:

LT - Mekhi Becton / Billy Turner / Dennis Kelly
LG - Laken Tomlinson / Billy Turner
OC - Joe Tippmann / Xavier Newman (PS)
RG - Max Mitchell / Roger Saffold (PS)  / Billy Turner
RT  -  Duane Brown / Billy Turner / Dennis Kelly

I know Brown hasn't played RT since his first year of college but I doubt they're moving Becton back over there and Brown is probably better at RT than Mitchell who can also play guard and may be an upgrade over the other options there.

Good picks.  But I think I’d use tippman at guard and Newman or someone else at center.  I think tippman has the speed and agility to do some serious run blocking.  I guess brown isn’t going to be ready until next week.

Newman obviously got dropped into a situation he was not well rehearsed for.  He mostly played G/T on scout teams.  So as painful as it was, I can completely forgive the fumble on the first snap.  I think a LOT depends on how he looks this week if he is taking 1st team snaps at Center.  I think he probably earned at least a hard look.  If the coaches like what they see, they might run with him again.

Tippman is the other obvious swing point.  IF he's available.  If so, is he a C or G?  Will be interesting.

Saffold is terrible.  Hes emergency depth only.  Billy T will be at RG on Monday.  He is serviceable there.

Based off what,  PFF stats from a season he was clearly playing injured . The guy was a solid OL for his career , IF he's healthy he could be a nice addition.

I have to believe Tippman will play center if he can go, that's why he was drafted.  The protections will be the only concern, but he has to be further along than Newman in that regard.

I'd be shocked if Tippman was available and didn't go to C. He has a lot more experience snapping in games than Newman who never did so prior to last week.

Brown is going back to LT.

Brown, Tomlinson, Tippman, Staffold, Becton will be the line 

I disagree with this and Tomlinson probably would as well. It seems that Becton with T are a good combo, slide dinosaur Brown to the right side per @Barry McCockinner, I like the idea.

How can Saffold walk onto a football field and play a game after not playing for 10 months?

I agree, I just think he’ll need a couple weeks to get up to speed.
