I actually think Asiata could be the one to push for the spot sooner rather than later though, Big guy that holds up in pass protection and can create holes for the RB. Throw on top of that he can actually get out and run on screens and pulls and I feel like he could compete early for a shot at G. CBS compares him to Gabe Jackson who I was a fan of a couple years ago and while he might not be quite the prospect Jackson was I think its a solid comparison for Asiata.

You never know with this team though considering they haven't exactly shown a willingness to start some of the younger guys until absolutely necessary.

That's kind of what I assumed. Still would make me nervous given what we all saw with the right side of the offensive line last season. I'd feel more comfortable with an OG selection on Day 2 if the Bengals lost Zeitler, but if not, fingers crossed that the Bengals would find a way to make it work between Westerman, a mid-late round pick, and/or someone like Winston. Could be in for a LONG season otherwise.
