New Look Offensive Line

Jonah Williams will be going into his second year playing coming off a solid rookie year. That is 4 offensive linemen that all have experience and are good football players.

The other guard spot and the depth is the big question. Day 2 and early Day 3 will have a few different options for the Bengals to explore. 

Dillion Radunz and D'Ante Smith are a couple of my favorite prospects for the Bengals. Radunz is a G/T prospect that will fit well in a wide zone. He will be able to compete his rookie year for that final guard spot with XSF and Hakeem Adeniji. D'Ante Smith will likely go in the 4th as a developmental Tackle. Smith has the size, length, and athletisim teams covet but will need a year to get stronger and develop into a possible starter or the very important backup swing tackle.

True, but Hopkins may not be 100% when the year starts coming off his injury.  Spain was pretty good last year, but that may just seem that way because of the awful play there in previous years.

The interior line still needs work and the tackle spots are manned by a guy that can't seem to play a full season and a 31 year old vet.  OT is still a pretty big need as far as I'm concerned.  The lack of talent is still pretty obvious.
