Oregon’s Penei Sewell is already regarded as the best tackle in this year’s draft. Still, versatility is critical for today’s offensive linemen. To market himself to teams with left tackles already in place, Sewell has also been training at right tackle (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport).

Sewell projects as a top ten pick and, in all likelihood, a Week 1 starter. Still, he’s hoping to appeal to teams that may already have an older left tackle in place. That way, a team could draft him and play him at RT in his rookie year before shifting him to LT down the road.
The draft is expected to start with three quarterbacks coming off the board, giving the Falcons a chance to snag Sewell at No. 4 overall. Sewell would be a solid and safe choice, though they could opt for a young quarterback or a dynamic playmaker instead (i.e. Florida’s Kyle Pitts or LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase). If the Falcons pass on him, the Bengals will have Sewell on the table at No. 5 overall. They already have Jonah Williams on the left side, but Sewell is willing to man the right tackle position.
Sewell opted out of the 2020 season, but he is still regarded as one of the top prospects in the ’21 class. The 6’6″, 330-pound prospect did not allow a single sack in 2019 while surrendering just seven quarterback pressures.
Best at his position in whole draft of scepter for maybe Pitts at tight end..
He better be working at LG since that’s where he’ll start the season if he’s going to Cincinnati
I really think the best lineup for Cincy would b Sewell at LT, Jonah at LG, whoever wins the center job, Jordan at RG and Reiff at RT. That would b a pretty solid line with 3 maybe even 4 young pieces if Billy Price wins the C job to grow with Burrow.
I think you meant RG. As the Bengals have 2 veteran LGs and zero RGs. Jordan was total trash last year, hopefully he’ll get it together..but I’m not sure anyone is banking on it. Either way tho, Bengals need to draft Chase. There will be great value at O-line in round 2.
Still think this is who the Jets should have targeted. But they traded Darnold. The Bengals are unlikely to pass on him so they could move down a spot to 3 or 4 if they intended to go a different route at QB (i.e. Bridgewater or Jimmy G) and take Penei.
If I’m the Jags I take him #1 and play him both ways. LT and DT
The kid’s not even a pro quite yet and he’s already thinking ahead, trying to make himself more useful to whoever drafts him. If I’m a GM, that would make a very favorable impression on me.
he also refused to play football last year. And now wants to go pro in the most competitive sport. So yeah, better accept that he most likely will not start at the elite spot on nfl Lines. Might want to brush up on guard as well.
