To answer Dan Campbell’s question “And who knows? Maybe he is better at guard”. Me…I’ve been saying this since they drafted Manu. He’s going to be a solid NFL OG, I just hope it’s in Detroit
Leverage is going to be his issue at Guard, he is 6'7" and is going to have 6'3 guys pushing into him a lot lower than on the outside. It's great if it works out but at this point him being the 3rd OT is about as much as we can ask from him.
I'm well aware that being able to block takes precedence over height and there more guards over 6'3" than there used to be but there are very few over 6'5". Ogden was never intended to remain at OG btw.

leverage and the fact that there are few 6'7" QBS
Quentin Nelson is Six-Five, so is Joe Thuney. Jon Ogden began his career at OG and he is Six-Eight.
Short OG’s are not the norm anymore.
