Bengals Trading Up in 1st ?

The offensive line played MUCH better when Ced was benched.  And that was with an ailing Boling and a RT getting his first NFL action at the spot.  Fisher went from clueless to solid in a short amount of time.  I think he will be the RT of the future and if Andre Smith eats him self out of the potential for another contract, I think Westerman will be a good option.

I am, however, overly concerned about the LT spot and would MUCH rather see the Bengals trade back in to the bottom of the first to get Cam Robinson.  He could push Ced for the starters role at LT and if Ced miraculously won the job, we would have a future all-pro at RG.

The ugly child argument doesn't really fall on Boyd, as he is still the starting slot WR.  We need speed opposite AJ Green to help all the underneath work of the RBs, TEs, and Boyd.  I also love his big play ability.  If AJ Green is running a crossing route, you would imagine  most of the attention would stay on him.  Ross just has mercurial deep speed.  I want to see him catching bombs from Dalton. 

This offense didn't come close to scoring enough points to be considered a championship team last year.  A lot of that falls on the offensive line, Hill sucking, and injuries to Eifert and AJ.  This year, with a new RB, Eifert and AJ Healthy, and a burner like Ross, this offense could be explosive.  

Check out my "Crazy Browns" thread...it addresses LT but is a long shot

Makes sense but still would love Cam Robinson, a elite pass rusher early, a center, and a RB.
