La'el Collins is Done

Things I (think I) believe:
1) Jonah Williams is the starting RT as long as he's on the roster
2) Cody Ford will make the roster. Reports of Bengals liking him in the leadup to the 2019 draft mixed with his versatile experience tells me they think he'll be better option over Adeniji and Smith.
3) Bengals won't draft an OT early unless either A) Jonah Williams is traded, or B) they choose to roll with 10 OL. From what I recall though, they typically keep just 9 OL (4 OT, 3 OG, 2 OC) since they usually have a couple guys who can play multiple positions. Between Karras, Carman, Ford, Adeniji, and Hill, they'll have a some position-versatile guys, so I think they'll roll with 9 OL.
4) If an OT is not taken in the Top 100, I envision the starting RT will be one of Jonah, Carman, or Ford. Even if an OT is drafted earlier than that, that draft pick still may not win the starting job.
5) Jonah won't be traded unless they get a 4th rounder or better as trade compensation.

In just a few days, we'll finally get to put this draft debate to rest.
