Starters:

C- Karras

LT- Williams

Bench:
T- Prince, Adeniji
G- Smith
C- Hill

Practice squad
C - Lamont Gaillard

They're still a G short and a couple practice squad guys but the only real area of need is another good backup G. I don't see how they re-sign Spain unless they're willing to push Carman and to a lesser extend Smith back a spot, or unless Spain is brought back (agrees) that he's starting off behind Carman. I'd prefer they go with Carman and find a cheap(er) option to fill out the roster before they grab a couple guys in the draft. 

There are a few good guys left for their needs, vets and younger guys. 

Ryan Bates. (RFA-visited Vikes and Pats and there are some rumblings that he may sign with Chi after his visit with them)
Ereck Flowers. A previous Bfine mention. Played well with WFT last year. If he doesn't get a starting gig, he's a guy the Bengals should be eyeing.
Trai Turner. Guy people wanted last year. Still <30y/o and our allotment of Trai, Tre, Trea, Trey's is dwindling with the release of one yesterday. Like Flowers, it may come down to him signing as a backup.

EDIT: So, apparently they re-re-signed Fred for 2022? I guess plug him into a backup T and move Adeniji back to G...or ignore everything i just said. 

Wouldn't mind bringing in both Trai Turner and Erick Flowers or bringing back Spain and releasing Adeniji.

Draft Tre McBride the TE in the Draft to keep our Tre, Trai's stockpiled.
