If you have a slow OG but you trained him up a lot or you really like the player, put him on the right side and flip run plays to the left (or whatever you feel comfortable with). I had the same issue with marcus cannon last year; had to have him since he's a pat, but super slow.
I think SPD can sometimes be less important for one guard and the center, who just have to engage and hold a block for long enough for you to get a pass off or take an edge, while the other guard and both tackles have to hold off blitzes and or run in front of the RB
