I agree that it makes too much sense to happen, but, with how different we've been lately, it could happen.
If we can't get Collins, I'd draft Penning in the first because he'd be a steal at 31, but I think he might be gone after his combine.
I think we should take care of our own guys (after we cut Hop and Waynes), but I'm hoping we also go hard at some outside targets because we could be very good.
I think it is possible with the way FA has went for us on the Defensive side and after this postseason where everyone
saw the reason we lost in the Superbowl. We would of won easily with a good OL. I agree that I really like Penning but
also don't think he will be around at 31. Need to take care of RT in Free Agency and Collins is the best RT we could ever
get, player wise and he should be really affordable for us in a trade. Makes so much sense.

Knowing the Bengals my hopes are not high on guard. I could see them getting a better CB. Or doubling up at DT before signing a guard. Norwell coming at a huge discount may be hard for them to pass up.
We know they haven't valued guard and they really want some draft talent to play. And it would be great if Carmen and Smith became solid starters. Difficult to trust that today, but Jensen in the middle they would be between him and Jonah or Collins so... maybe?
Might not hurt us this FA to not pay Guards. As long as we pay RT and the Center we can just draft a Guard.
The Guards that will be available to us are better than the OT's in this Draft.
