La'el Collins is Done

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

If Wright is there at 28, then I imagine the Bengals would select him, because he would likely be the BPA at that point. But in almost all mocks that I have seen, Wright is gone by the time the Bengals select. So, who would posters have them select for the OL with their first round pick if Wright is gone. Everyone else would be a significant reach.

Don't forget, we signed Scharping as well prior to 2022. Seven OL adds since the end of 2022.

1. Brown, LT: prior to 2023, FA 
2. Ford, OT/OG, prior to 2023, FA

3. Cappa, OG, prior to 2022, FA 
4. Collins, RT/G, prior to 2022, FA 
5. Karras, C/OG, prior to 2022, FA 
6. Volson, OG, 2022 Draft (Rd 4) 
7. Scharping, OG, prior to 2022 FA + prior to 2023 FA 
---------------------  
8. Carman, OT/G, 2021 Draft (Rd 2)  
9. Smith, OT/G, 2021 Draft (Rd 4)

11. Adeniji, OT/G, 2020 Draft (Rd 6)
