I'm not sold on McGovern or Lewis. McGovern may proof me wrong with Vera-Tucker next to him. You are right considering, "Not Bad At All"
Seems Fant is going to have to take a substantial salary reduction to stay with the team. He does though have additional roster value as a potential 3rd game day tight end(a role he experienced in Seattle) along with being a backup tackle. The status of Edoga and/or McDermott depends to a large extent how things unfold with Fant.
Right guard is going to be interesting between Lewis, Clark and GVR(can probably throw Levin in the mix as well). In my mind, Feeney is primarily competing for backup center against Murray. Seemingly, Feeney's central usefulness is he can be on the 46 player game day roster, and serve also as emergency guard backup - meaning the team has the option of only carrying seven O-Linemen on game day roster.
Of course, as always, the HUGE X factor is injuries

Chuma Edoga, Alex Lewis, Greg Van Roten & Tristen Hoge are competing for the RG job...
From my understanding it is in that order who leads for the job as of right now...
Surprised they did not involve Conor McDermott into that rotation since he played well when he was inside... Now that it seems that George Fant is the new swing tackle...
And no Fant does not have to take a pay cut his salary is good enough for a swing tackle who will be involved a lot this season not at left tackle but the 6th man when they want to go big run front and this crew did that a lot in SF...

I have not heard that Edoga is in the forefront or for that matter any position for RG. Success for Hoge this summer would seem to be making the practice squad(especially in light of the guard competition)anything else would make him a outlier.
Didn't we have another guy working out for RG? I forgot his name, but we drafted him last year in Rd #3 or #4
Yes, Cameron Clark. Thanks #15. Is he not in the running for the RG spot?
we've got "Lewis and Clark"competing for the same spot
We hope at least one of them will find what we're looking for.
Later
that's for sure
