It could definitely be a shot in the arm for the interior rushing attack, as well as a sound foundation for a pocket that Andy could step up into. Not going to lie, the edges would still be very suspect, but they could use Ogbuehi as the extra T/TE role, similar to what they did with Roland.
I haven't looked at Fisher close enough to imagine what his performance would be like as LT. Giving up the blind side protection Dalton has enjoyed from Whit gives me cause to pause. though. This might take more effort for success than what time is available during a 'normal' week, given the weekly game prep requirements at hand.
I'm leaning toward keeping Winston as starter at RT, and bringing in Ogbuehi and/or Fisher for extra blocking. I am assuming Bodine can be taught to stop 'putting' the ball back to Dalton. His low snaps lately are exacerbating the problem. My main reluctance in moving Whit anywhere is based on fear for Dalton's health and safety, not that he's home-free now. At least he can see the train heading towards him with the way it's been. All 50 of them at this pace.
Realistically, a major shakeup of the line at mid-season will likely require more time and effort than what is available. We just don't have the depth to pull off a remake.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
