Tobin Likes Williams At LT?!

These are the guys the Bengals will face (on the roster last year) and how often they come over RT in 2021. 

Bosa - 81% (chargers) 8 sacks last year
TJ Watt - 97% (steelers x 2) 15 sacks last year
Okwara - 59% (lions) 10 sacks last year
Jones - 52% (chiefs) 8 sacks last year
Smith - 50% (packers) 13 sacks last year
Chubb - 20% (broncos) 8 sacks last year
Garrett - 42% (browns x 2) 12 sacks last year
Mack - 84% (bears) 9 sacks last year

That's not including Von Miller--primarily LOLB--who was hurt last year and the Broncos would like to restructure him (possible vet cut). 

I tried to make this point before I read all the posts, but you did some great work here.  

This is the spot on truth.  It isn't about being a LT over a RT, but about having TWO OTs that can negate the outside pass rush and help open holes in the rushing attack.  I still am not sure if the Bengals will have a shot at Sewell, but if he is there I think he is absolutely the pick and I believe he starts at RT.  

Things get interesting outside of that.  I think Spencer Brown is a heck of a prospect for RT, but I would like to have a year to let him develop to this level before forcing him to start.  Free agency is the key.  They need one immediate upgrade starter, and I am hoping it is Thuney.  

That allows them to focus on OT in the draft.  BTW, Thuney played every position on the offensive line in college.  Sure, I would rather put him at LG next to Jonah and have that side be a wall, but in a pinch he could play RT.
