The plan for Penning is at LT but of course he’ll have to compete for the starting role.

Surprising. With Penning's ability to maul, especially on run plays, it seemed you could maximize and take advantage of those skills more at Right Tackle...

Maybe he's fast enough to run pulling plays? Does it really matter what side of the line he mauls the opposition?

Agreed. I guess they just want to keep some level of continuity on the line. Penning has that Richie Incognito in him and I like that. You hit Winston late? You might get your ass suplexed. We just gotta make sure he doesn't commit too many holding or unnecessary roughness penalties. I'm super excited about both of these picks though.
