Offensive line -- 0AP Secure Protector?

Now that we've got a number of choices for 0AP Secure Protectors across our O-line, what is everyone's preference(s) here?  I understand that the UL line is widely regarded as best available in the game.  For the rest of us mere mortals, what is second best?  Currently, on my 50/50 49ers squad, i've got:

• Trent Williams (LT)
• Ben Powers (LG)
• Kevin Glover (C)
• Larry Allen (RG)
• John Madden (RT)

All five of my linemen run Secure Protector, also have 0AP Identifier on Glover, which i had to swap over to (from 0AP Post Up) after removing the other RoH RG, in favor of Larry.  Would you suggest i switch Larry Allen and Madden, moving Larry to RT?  I guess my concern is the overall size, my school of thought here is that i'd want my absolute best players available on the outside edges.  Am i doing it wrong, or what (if anything) could be done to improve upon the existing setup?

All input, suggestions (constructive or otherwise) or pro-tips welcome.  What would YOU do differently??  Probably should add Kittle in place of Delanie Walker, but he's been pretty reliable and also has 99 SPD/ACC, etc.  I also have Legatron and Hammer for various boosts.

I think I'd personally leave Madden at RT and Allen at RG. I'm not the biggest fan of playing OL OOP. 

As for the rest of your lineup, I think it looks great. I probably wouldn’t touch anything until new content releases.

THANK YOU for the direct reply mister hurc.  Constantly second guessing myself, trying to find further efficiencies on the squad.  I honestly expected the RoH O-linemen I added would basically become end-game (for me).  I do have Ezra after the Easter egg fiasco (sold one, kept one), but despite the ultra high end speed, overall he felt slightly "less" than big Ben Powers at LG.  I don't pull my tackles all that often.  Larry Allen was a pricey, but welcome surprise heading into last weekend.  Pair that with Joe Montana as new QB1 and things are feeling quite dreamy all of a sudden.

Now if i can just reliably beat the Man blitz spams i constantly encounter, heh.  Getting better with adjustments, although i still neglect to ID the Mike more often than not.  Can i potentially make the blocking schemes/coverage "worse" if i ID the incorrect defender (as mike)?

I did swap out Maniac at RRE in favor of L.T. so i could reclaim that 1AP for DBs.  Otherwise mostly remains unchanged (and as you pointed out, probably will remain mostly static until/unless we get more new content).  It's difficult to upgrade on the few cards that get dual 0AP buckets.

Peatrick!!!

I dont see a reason to change Allen and Madden

I would pick up Jon Runyan Jr though for LG. Gets 0AP SP.

I might run identifier on my glover - I’m sure I won’t notice much of a difference from post up.

Damn, thank you for this. Apparently overlooked the Runyan option, I'll have to build him. Appreciate that pro-tip, you basically just gave me 1AP for my offense. Much obliged, my dude. 🏆🏈🔥
