Here's how I personally would build the OL for 2018....
LT - Draft one in the first round because I don't have faith there will be a good one available in the rounds after and the FA crop is bad too. Yes, the top OTs in the draft may not be considered "elite" and Top 5 picks but then again was Whitworth considered elite when drafted given he fell to the 2nd round?
LG - Boling. Keep him here but swing him out to LT in a pinch
C - Draft one in Rounds 2-3. There should be a handful of good ones available.
RG - Westerman, Redmond, or Hopkins can hold down this spot. I prefer Westerman.
RT - Re-sign Andre Smith. He would be a satisfactory band aid while Fisher hopefully can fully return to football and get some more grooming.

If an injury happens to Smith and Fisher is not playing up to par, swing McGlinchey to RT (he was dominant at RT in college), push Boling out to LT, and move one of the guards to LG.
Unfortunately for Ogbuehi, he needs to be fully relegated to permanent backup unless the new OL coach and Lazor can really coach him up this year. If not, it doesn't make sense to pick up his 5th year option and he will hit FA in 2019.
