The only guys I'd put in that category are Ekwonu, Neal, Cross, and Penning.
All of those guys I expect to be gone in the Top 30 picks, if not the Top 20.
I think if the Bengals are going to get a decent rookie starter at OL in this draft, it's going to be IOL.
Gotta address OT in FA and maybe draft a backup to groom for 1-2 years before potentially taking over as a starter.
Penning would be the best option, but I see us getting DT-Devonte Wyatt from Georgia in the # 1 b/c Penning won't be around. Zion Johnson-Big?? for a #1 pick;
Jamaree Salyers from Georgia will play OG and maybe wouldn't be a bad pick-up in the #2;
3rd round I see Arizona's OT Kellen Diesch and then NDSU Cordell Volson OT or Luke Fortner from KY in the Mid-to-later rounds.
6 and 7 rounds, TE-Woods from Virginia, Ben Brown-OG Ol'Miss, Also, one WR that hasn't been mentioned that's been compared to Antonio Brown is Danny Grey from SMU(Speedster), and I also like QB- EJ Perry from Brown to backup Joe for our last pick.
