LT's? Sure. But RT's? Not really, it doesn't happen often. Willie Anderson, and Andre Smith both being Bengals 1st round picks and both being RT's though suggests otherwise. But in general, the early round T's almost always are either LT's, or considered LT's to be.

Yet the only RTs they've ever had real success with (the past 20 years at least) were all first round picks. So while it may not be true for most teams, it seems to be true for the Bengals.
