As a LG or backup/swing Tackle prospect, I think that he would be fine. Something tells me that the Bengals have Mike Jordan penciled in at LG, and Fred Johnson penciled in at backup/swing Tackle.
However for RG, I want the man with some of the most powerful hands in the draft, the man who's going to win those "phone booth" battles, the guy who plays all the way through the whistle. It really was a tossup for me in the 4th as both Lemieux and Tyler Biadasz were available. I looked long and hard at both of their scouting reports on TDN, before deciding that Lemieux was indeed the perfect RG candidate, with thoughts of pairing with Wilson at eventual RT.
I like your thinking. I am totally on board with getting some physical offensive lineman who can control the line of scrimmage and win the one on one battles. I honestly don’t know if we currently have anyone on the line who can do that (maybe Jonah Williams but who knows). In my mind, I always view the RG spot as a more physical bruiser run blocking type. Vs LG being more pass protecting finesse but honestly things seem mostly interchangeable anymore. Sounds like you couldn’t go wrong either way in that scenario though, as the reports on Lemieux are pretty good and the Badgers seem to always produce great Lineman. I am curious though how Biadasz would project to guard instead of center. I’m always leery of position changes.
