Offensive line is still a huge problem with no real viable RT, a struggling LT and an amemic running game. 
Linebackers are a complete wash and yet the mockers seem to think we are going to move on from Andy first without addressing the offensive line.  
Call me skeptical ,but I don't think they're ready to move on from Andy unless he pulls a CP number and just quits before the season begins.

What are some "sleeper" LBs that people like that have a high chance of being available in Rds 2+ that fit what the Bengals need (mainly coverage, rangy, speed)?

If there really aren't good candidates after Rd 1, the Bengals might have to go LB in Rd 1 and then OL on Day 2.

Vosean Joseph from Florida would be an option in the second or around that area. 

Bryan London II from Texas State is undersized but he's a tackling machine. 

T.J. Edwards has been dropping on boards, which could make him a great value, so I think he would be a nice grab in the middle rounds.

Would this team consider looking for a franchise LT in the draft or continue to roll with Glenn and instead look for RT? Or perhaps they look for someone who could start immediately at RT but then flex to LT eventually?

I feel the only other options for Rd 1 have to be either LB (Devin White or maybe Mack Wilson but harder to make case for Wilson the earlier you pick in the round) or potential next franchise QB (also unlikely unless there's a big coaching changeup).

This team won't go OG in the first round, especially if picking in the top half of the draft. Day 2 might be perfect for a new RG though.

I agree that if he drops, he might be a good depth pickup but I could also see how he might be viewed as a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy, and the Bengals might need someone who is more explosive?

That's the type of prazr he's getting and rightfully so. I'd be okay on that if we were confident one of Allen,white,Wilson would be avalaible when we pick in rd2. No shutdown CB this year imo
