I think it's safe now to designate Penning as a bust. Horrible pick by us - fall in love with one intangible (mean streak) on a raw player with bad fundamentals, and now he's in the doghouse even on a banged up unit. Might as well cut him or trade him for a 7th rounder.

Before trading him for a low pick, I would try him at both guard positions and at RT during training camp in 2024. If he is unable to win a starting job, maybe he can at least develop into a key backup/role player. He was absolutely a bad 1st round draft pick and so far a LT bust.
