Jonah Williams has been playing OT for the past 5+ years. Moving him to OG would be a risk since he hasn't played it. I definitely think he can play it, but there might be a learning curve. We've seen how Fred Johnson grossly underperformed at OG compared to OT.
Jonah Williams may never be an All-Pro OT, but he's good. And if you get Sewell, you can put him at RT and instantly upgrade RT. At this point, it doesn't matter if you play on the left side or right side. Teams like the Steelers having good pass rushers on both sides, so you need good pass protectors on both sides.
With all the OGs being cut recently, the OG market may be better for the Bengals now than OT. Perhaps it makes more sense now to sign 1-2 new OGs and then draft an OT in Rds 1-2.
Well said, it helps with continuity and chemistry by keeping Jonah at LT. He has reps there against the Pros while Sewell does
not. I love Sewell's upside but he is not a guaranteed pro bowler right off the bat, but I sure bet he will be better than Hart right
off the bat. Also agree that going after a couple Guards in FA might be the way to go as this Draft is deep with talent at OT.
