Bengals normally keep 9 OL.

OT - Brown, Williams, Carman, Ford
OG - Cappa, Volson, Scharping
C - Karras, Hill

Once Collins is back healthy, they may either slot him in as the 10th OL, release him, or choose to let go of Scharping or Ford.
Another option would be trying to trade Jonah at the trade deadline, but only if Collins is back before then or Carman or Ford has shown enough to let Williams go.

The Bengals really need to improve their pass defense at the front and back, that's to me job 1.  For the oline the best result is Williams plays lights out at RT, wins the starter job and Carman plays well and is a good backup to LT or RT.  Then a very sold front 5 for JoeB.  Draft a good rusher and DB at #28 and #60 and TE and RB later.  Maybe sneak in a OG in round 5 for the future and practice squad.
