I wanted him back before the Bengals got Glenn, as I thought he'd make a great LT even with shorter-than-preferred arm length. And if LT didn't happen to work out, I thought he'd be a fantastic guard.

Now that Glenn has been acquired, I don't see the need to go after a LT (early at least). Plus, I have high hopes for Westerman or Richmond to take the starting RG spot and hold it down. The spots I worry most about now are C and RT. Could Wynn play C or RT? Probably, but he has never played those positions before. For C, I think I'd prefer someone who has actually played the position before rather than gamble on Wynn at that spot, and I worry that at RT he can't handle some of the longer edge rushers that he would need to due to lack of length. And I see length being more important on the right side rather than left side because typically the quicker, smaller rushers are against LTs whereas bigger, longer rushers are against RTs.

If someone can make a case for Wynn as the RT or C, I'm all ears, as he's my second-favorite OL in the draft. I just see him more as OG or LT and I believe the Bengals have those spots filled already.

I understand that it's not a safe assumption that he can make the transition to RT. But in addition to his motor, his footwork is good and he squares up nicely, all of which suggests (to me) that it may be possible. We'll know what Pollack thinks on draft day. C and RT are my priorities as well, so if we find what we need there, and Wynn isn't one of them I hope he goes to the NFC. Whomever plays against him better bring their lunch  ;-)
