Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy both said position flexibility is a key part of the decision to select Max Iheanachor in the first round:
"I mean, sure, it's a little bit of a concern," Khan said regarding Broderick Jones' rehab. "You guys have heard me talk about that. You always hear me talk about versatility too, and we've got guys on the offensive line that can play different positions on the offensive line. As I mentioned, we have options."
"I think all those things are discussions that will occur after the draft," McCarthy added. "We had two really good days, Monday and Tuesday, the work with our men, and frankly, we looked at as much position flex throughout the individual drills that we did work with the offensive line. We even had some -- not team drills, but group activity that we worked a number of the offensive linemen, both left and right. It's part of being a new staff. They're excited about it. We wanted to see what this weekend brings, and we're off to a heck of a start for our offensive line room. Position flex is huge. It's bigger than ever in the NFL. 17 games is real. And to add Max to this group is -- I can't tell you how excited we are with the pick."
