I think the pay scheme of RT vs LT will get closer together as the old guard phases out so I wouldn't read too much into that at this juncture and we got time to decide. Also, just looking in the AFC North, Myles Garrett and TJ Watt both rush off the right side more often than not. Garrett moved a little more this past year than he had previously, but in general RT's in the AFC North are going to see the premier rushers in the NFL often.

I think running Sewell at RT for a year against some of these top guys is a really good litmus test. Whitworth didn't start out at LT so I am not too worried about any long term development stunting if we do eventually want him out at RT.

And that's just pass protection.

Penei Sewell is a 330lb Offensive Tackle that is specifically known not only for his solid pass pro but being a weapon as a lead blocker in the run offense. The Right side on average sees a high percentage of play side runs.
