Why do we seem so behind the curve on identifying our "5 best guys"?

But it seems to me that it would behoove the Buffs to stop consider these players as "interchangeable parts"
Ryan Miller at Right Tackle. Since 2007 we are 8-7 in games that he gets significant snaps or plays the entire game at RT. (We are 2-7 with him at RG)
.
We need Max Tuioti-Mariner at the Right Guard spot. In his only 3 starts in 2008 (before injury) we were 3-0 with him at Guard.
We all know the situation with MTM is not as easy as stating the 3-0 record in his starts. The injuries cannot be ignored, hell he has even had issues this spring.
Max has been re-habbing for over a year already. It's time he finds out whether he can shake the rust off, start playing aggressively, and have his knees hold up. Or whether he's done playing football.
It's looking to me like Richter is going to be a starter at LG. It wouldn't shock me if Harris won the RT spot.

I think you are right on both accounts. Richter looks like a nordic god among men out there, while Sione just looks too big (in a bad way) and slow to be a RT. With Givens being the archetype of undependable, Harris has a great shot. Dannewitz just doesn't look like the answer either, even though he was getting 1st team RT snaps...
What is the knock on Dannewitz? There really hasn't been much reports of him in camp.
So now Adam from Rivals says Givens and Tuoti-Mariner will most likely not be playing the spring game. That news worries me a bit.
Kasa torched him in pass protection when I was watching, he gets no push in the run game, and just always seems like a liability. Plus, Harris just looks like a NFL type Tackle.
In Givens' absence for most of the past week, Hawkins said sophomore Ryan Dannewitz has proved a versatile and able substitute who can play guard or tackle
