What do you think of moving Jonah to right tackle?

Assuming Sewell is drafted, I'm fine with keeping Jonah at LT and putting Sewell at RT.
I'm also fine putting Sewell at LT and putting Jonah at RT or LG.

In regards to FA, the priciest upgrades will be Thuney and Scherff when it comes to OL.
I doubt the Bengals would dump what they consider "OT money" into a guard, so I think Thuney and Scherff will be off the table.
As such, I look at the next tier of FAs: guys likely in the $6-10 mill APY range.
Three players I have in that range are Larry Warford (RG), Daryl Williams (RT), and Austin Blythe (C/G)
I'd look to get 1-2 of these guys, as the Bengals need 2 upgrades on the OL minimum. You could argue up to 4.

But in the order I'd look to upgrade the OL positions:
1) OG
2) OG
3) RT
4) C
5) LT

Sewell would take care of 3/5, but the Bengals need at least 1 more OL upgrade aside from Sewell, and it needs to be a G before a C, IMO.
