- I'm not saying I WANT the Bengals to take an OT. Or that I WANT Whit replaced. I was just saying that I could see it happening if the draft doesn't fall the way they envision. It's not preposterous and I just tried to illustrate why.

- Corey Coleman is the guy I feel would be the best pick for the Bengals in the first round. After that, I would say a CB, hybrid LB/DE, or S if a highly rated one were to fall. If not, then that tackle would be fine. I would just be really disenchanted with a DT given how insanely deep DT is this draft.

You're comparing safeties vs left tackles first off. Safeties don't protect the blind side of $16-$20m quarterbacks who are the most important player to a team's success.

Secondly, Nelson is on the Raiders  (a 7-9 team last year who should be a winning team in 2016 with a very promising young franchise QB) as a STARTER. He's not making Earl Thomas money, he's also not signing somewhere to be a backup. Which was my point.

I see your Nelson and raise you an Alex Mack who is only one year younger than Nelson, but got 5 yr/$45m. Or if you want a T comparison, Donald Penn who will be 33 this month getting 2 yr/$14m, and he's sure not Whitworth level.
