If the cap can work itself out to keep Bates and still upgrade the OL enough, I'd be fine swapping out Daxton Hill for an OL or DL that I think could be a worthy starter. With that said, Hill is a prospect I think very highly of and think he can do very well right away as a starter. Probably more confident in him starting than any DL or OL starting that the Bengals would draft.
Because rookies are a major crap shoot. I don't think we let Bates walk, nor should we. At least franchise him for $13 million and go from there.
I'm also not a fan of replacing a bunch of guys on the o-line. At some point, cohesion and chemistry will trump just adding players. There's no way that I get rid of Spain, the left side isn't broken. We obviously need a RG/RT. I could see 1 brought in and then a competition from there.
This roster, even though it made the Super Bowl, still has holes.
