Why not move Shields to RT and Welby to RG?

Welbourn has played both LG and RT in his career, more so LG. But he was eager to make the move to RT to become a starter. You don't shift an offensive line around that's been solid the past three seasons. It makes no sense.

You would do it if your RT wasn't holding up and you had someone who gets paid like a tackle, and has the ability to be one right there. Sure it isn't ideal, and probably doesn't need to be done right now. You have said that you don't move lineman around, but Welborn was a guard, and you we don't even know that Bober, also a converted guard, could step in.
