But as you point out, the traits that make most top-notch RGs successful are things that Ogbuehi lacks. He really is more suited for the left side (whether that's LT or LG) but still has plenty of work to do to earn a starting job.

I am curious if Boling could take over RG and allow Ogbuehi or Westerman at LG, but that'd be two spots with new faces instead of just one. While I think Westerman might be a good RG, I think he's also better suited at LG.

Honestly, if something doesn't click with Ogbuehi after this year or next, he'll likely go down as the biggest first round bust the Bengals have had in quite some time.

The only one on our bench that has a draft profile that points toward being a decent RG, is Trey Hopkins.  Westerman has more the requisite skill set of a typical LG, being more suited for pass blocking and the athleticism to execute traps and pulls.

Upon reading the NFL.com draft profiles of all of our OL bench, we are in serious need of some hard-nosed drive blockers.
