Reiff is on a 1 maybe 2 yr contract.. they could be back to square one next year.. and with the lack of moves in FA on the Oline I fully see them looking at our high picks.. it just depends on how they see our bad guard position and if they feel Slater is that good for #5 or if they might trade back to add a pick... 

I think most of us and the Bengals probably also still see Oline as the biggest need so would not surprise me if they go Oline in 1st. 

Correct, Reiff and Spain are only on one-year deals. However, for 2021, they are here.
The team may decide they will be covered for this year and just get a new OG and/or OT next year.
In total, here is the roster:
OT = Williams, Reiff, Adeniji, Johnson
OG = Spain, XSF, Jordan, Sutherland
C = Hopkins, Price

I don't recall a time more than maybe once in the past decade where they've kept more than 10 OL on the roster.
Williams, Reiff, Spain, XSF, and Hopkins are locks to make the roster.
Price probably isn't getting replaced due to Hopkins injury.
Sutherland is the most likely candidate to get replaced by a draft pick, but I'm not sure how many more of the other guys would get knocked off in favor of a draft pick. Maybe 1-2 of them.

My guess - The Bengals take one OL on Day 1/2 and one on Day 3.
