These guys were drafted THIRD round for a reason. If we had two first round picks or a high second (Like we had this year but couldn't use) then maybe they both start. Until then you put out veterans to at least soften the blow on the right side.
The way I see it playing out is either Moses OR Long start by mid season, I don't know who but one of them will. Then a few weeks later say Week 12-14 you put in the other one. That way by year 2 they both have game experience and can work in the off season with a steady grasp of NFL level play.
The only question now is who will adjust to the NFL faster Long or Moses.

Where you are drafted means nothing. The Bears had a OL drafted in the 6th who played all year. If you can play, you can play, Regardless where you are picked.
