Right now all we honestly have on the O-line is a bunch of "hope".  I don't think it is too crazy to hope that a guy taken in the first round can be at least a solid starter.

And, like Andre, he struggled with injuries early on.  

There is an old saying in the military that "hope is not a strategy".  I think the Bengal's strategy of being dedicated to the guys they have and trying to get the most out of them was the right thing to do and the team started to show signs last year down the stretch...especially in run blocking.  

Add in a more mobile QB, more empty sets, a couple additions for competition, and more time in the system and I think they can be what is needed of them:  serviceable.
