It's only $3 mill, but I get it. I still think he's better than Brandon Allen.

Jewell is arguably an upgrade over Pratt. I'd prefer DeVondre Campbell, but some others have convinced me he'd cost too much and it isn't worth spending that much on a LB in the Bengals scheme.

Germain Ifedi is better than you give credit for. His value also lies in being able to play solid at both RG and RT. He's not a stud, but he's better than Adeniji/Carman at RG and would be a better RT over what the Bengals currently have. I'd prefer someone like Morgan Moses but some others on the board have convinced me that he could get re-signed by NYJ.
PFF has Ifedi as a better pass blocking RT this year than Riley Reiff, FWIW.

Are these players the studs I'd prefer? No.
But the Bengals only have so much cap and so many draft picks.
If the Bengals are going to re-sign a handful of their starters, the remaining cap is going to dwindle, so the Bengals might not upgrade the OL as much as we'd like.
