I have to wonder looking to the future, if Boling is a candidate to be the LT in 2018. He seems at the very least competent, and if Westerman is ready to step in at LG, then that alleviates a need for a starting o-lineman in the offseason, at least for a year of two.
If they employed this personnel strategy, then they could draft a new RG in the second and pick from Glenn/Hart/Andre at RT. Anything to find answers up front at this point. There are too many holes on that line to fill them all in one offseason. Westerman proving capable at LG and Boling being dependable at LT would be found money for this team.
I think it depends on what they do with their #1 pick this year. IF they are drafting a QB...then Boling to LT makes some sense. IF they aren't, then I think they draft a Tackle.
Their hesitation of moving Boling to LT is Tackles are paid way more money in free agency.
