We just let our stud OG go in free agency last season with, literally, no offer even given to him.
I would be absolutely stunned if they spent a top 10 pick on a guard after that shit.

The Bengals have put themselves in quite a hole when it comes to their offensive line. The free agent class is extremely weak this year which means the couple good prospective signings will cost a way to much. The draft also doesn't have any stars at this point, however once we get some scouting on smaller schools and testing begins some lesser known prospects may rise up to be that 2nd round Tackle. Andrew Norwell is someone that we could bring in to correct the guard position, however I feel the biggest needs are obviously LT and center.
I think its obvious at this point that taking the best offensive lineman at #9 will be in our best interest, but don't forget this is the bengals and they will win worthless games to get further back in the draft.
EDIT: The number 1 player in free agency we should go for is Weston Richburg without a doubt. He is one of the best centers in the nfl

I'm probably better with Ced and Big Dre being our starting OTs than I am Vigil and Minter being our starting LBs

PFF had Ogbuehi at 2 allowed sacks and 4 other hurries in the game today. They say that makes 8 sacks allowed this year, the most by any LT in the NFL.
Their ratings might be suspect at times, but they are pretty good at their counting stats.

Ole-hee also saved the front office about 8.5 million dollars this year over Whit. I’d say Mike Brown is very comfortable with that. Factor is the dumpster diving on Andre and Mike’s more comfortable than a 400 pound fatty settling into their second plate at Golden Corral.
