I see alot of people still locked in for Penei Sewell but this signing potentially gives the Bengals 2 drafts and another Free Agency period to add a Right Tackle for 2022. They have the flexibility to take a playmaker at the top of the first and target one of Tackle prospects in the 2nd Round to take over for Reiff after maybe playing Guard in 2021. Even if the gamble doesnt pay off and a tackle not being there  developmental guys like Spencer Brown, D'Ante Smith, or Josh Ball can be had later and they would still have 2022 Free Agency which will again include Riley Reiff or someone else.


Pick #5 is now BPA be that Kyle Pitts, Ja'Marr Chase, Penei Sewell, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Waddle, Micah Parsons.

I love Chase and Pitts I just prioritize O-line first. Far as finding a free agent tackle most teams don’t let good young tackles walk and if they do you need to get into a bidding war and pay big money which the Bengals haven’t been willing to do. Going for a tackle in round 2 is risky because the tackle run gets crazy and you probably won’t pick 5 again if you expect things to get better. The other factor is the jury is still out on Williams. I like Williams but he’s played 10 games in 2 years and we still need to see more. Your better off finding a WR in later rounds than you are a quality tackle.
