Bengals haven't done enough to address O-line problems.

I’m not sure Moses is the answer for 3 years. It would be nice to have bookend tackles like willie and Levi.

Bringing back reiff this year (hopefully no injury bug) would be similar production.

Collins would be the answer and would solidify our line for 3 years.

I'm not sure there is/was a TE in FA that I'd take over the likes of those that will be available at 62. 

Lots of te depth in the draft? I see mocks where only a couple tes go in the 1st few rounds. Can't rely on those guys starting.

It didn't feel like that the last two years.  

I don't know if they are sitting for Armstead or what.  They could be waiting on Collins to be designated for release and if so, Collins price will go up from 10 mil per.  There is no reason to sit on Tretter unless they do not want him.  It feels like they are waiting on a big name but I do not know who.

The Bengals are probably going to resign Reiff draft from a loaded draft of O-Tackles. I’d expect that if they can nab Collins in a deal they like or maybe get Tretter. It’s a waiting game. The draft is also loaded with tight ends.

This past year the Top 5 TEs in receptions:

None were taken in the first round

3 of 5 were taken after RD 2

There plenty TE talent in this draft.

Well at least she'll have something to do in the bedroom when bfine's not visiting.

Tretter just got released. Some people on here must buy the first house or car they look at.

I believe they're waiting for Watson. If he doesn't go to the Saints, Armstead's coming here unless he's part of the trade.

Guarantee Armstead will not be part of the trade

How many of those TEs were rookies?

The Saints don't have cap space to retain him.

They went out and got who they wanted Cappa/Karras, now they can afford to sit back and let the chips fall where they may.

I'll go out on a limb and assert the Day 1 starting RT is not on this team yet.

Feel the same. I will judge once we have our starting lineups even a touch set.

Right now we are feeling the market as we should. Don't panic like some on this board would do and **** everything up. Mellow

None, but I'm unsure how that's relevant to your assertion that this TE class is not deep because "you don't see many listed in the top 2 rounds of mocks". 

Last year we seen a 1sr RD generational TE, but the class was not deep.

They could actually with a little work. They can pick up 12-15 million in restructures still (7 million from Taysom Hill alone). If they are willing to cut Malcolm Jenkins and a couple others with post June designations they can get another 12-15. From there you start looking at structure, potentially a minimum salary with massive signing bonus stretched over 6 years giving a minimal hit this year.

People say every year the Saints won’t be able to get under the cap but they always do, and then they thrive and get more players.

They're experts at pushing out the cap.  

I was wrong about Armstead being part of the trade though, he's a free agent.

Still think we sign him if Watson doesn't go to the Saints.

Do we really win a SB though with Prince ,no Apple and no CJ? it's debatable we just changed weaknesses. CJ won us a couple of games with his play
