Who is your #1 FA?

The Steelers let a bunch of valuable guys walk Villanueva, Dupree, Hilton, Sutton, Juju, Alualu due to their cap situation. Not sure I agree on your take there.

Uh, what??  Feiler is/was the "spare tire" of the Steelers OL room.  I highly doubt that his presence or lack of is influencing any team's 1st round decision making.

The Bengals got Joe Burrow busted up last season, by trying to put a swiss cheese OL together, from "spare parts" from other teams.  How did that work out?  The Bengals first, and foremost item of urgency this year, is to ensure that Joe Burrow is adequately protected.  That means going out and getting good talent for the job, weather through free agency, the draft, or a combination of the two.

Many Bengal fans seem to have this pipe dream, where the Bengals magically solve the OL with some cheap-ass free agent acquisitions, so that the team can focus on getting the shiniest new WR or TE on the draft board.  That's all well and good, but Joe is going to have a difficult time finding any open receivers from his hospital room.
