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.
Sorry calling Spain and Hopkins average to above average starters isn’t accurate. Below average is more accurate. I could live with one of them. I could maybe live with two if the other guard was an all star. But Jonah is average with potential to be good. Reif is solid. Neither is a stud right now that you can leave on an island to support others. Problem is the interior is weak and if they don’t improve it then the whole offense struggles.
Boyd and Higgins are good. A decent round two WR3 who gives us what Higgins gave us last year means we are young and very good at WR. Chase definitely makes it better but our current WRs are better than current OLine so use earliest pick on OLine
