Normal:  Whitworth, Boling, Bodine, Zeitler, Ogbuehi.

Alternate suggestions:  Fisher, Whitworth, Johnson, Zeitler, Winston.

Fisher, Whitworth, Boling, Zeitler, Winston

Ogbuehi, Whitworth, Boling, Zeitler, Fisher

Whitworth, Boling, Johnson, Zeitler, Fisher

I sense another survey!!!

Mine would look like this:

Fisher, Whit, Bodine, Boling, Og

I know that is three different positions, and I left Bodine in.  Unfortunately, Bodine isn't likely going anywhere, but moving Whit to Guard gives them a look at if they believe he could handle that spot and extend him for two more years if it works.  Fisher would gain experience next to Whit.  Boling is at least solid.  Og has to get more experience and hopefully show some development.  I would give him a rest (mentally more than anything) from time to time with Winston, but he isn't the answer, either.

The draft will need at least one Guard and perhaps start giving Westerman snaps at Center.  I just don't think it is realistic for him to come in and play Center at this point of the season.  Perhaps he could rotate with Boling at Guard.  

I don't see how they handle Zeitler...It isn't like you can bench the guy in his contract year.  I am with the majority that believes a lot of his issues are Og-related. 

It is a mess, no doubt.  I believe the immediate fix is two TE sets, and maybe some three TE sets.  Whit to Guard next year, and get Og a lot of strength training and mental snaps.
