If Bengals don't value guards enough to extend them for their market value, no reason to take one with a top 10-15 pick. With that said, somebody else will take him there and get a solid starter for 10+ years.
Considering that the average NFL career is less than that, I would be more than happy to have a guy that played at a pro-bowl level for that long.
You never know about resigning him. They gave Boling quite a bit of money. I don't think the excuse "they won't sign him to a second contract" is good enough reason to not draft a guy.
In reality, you have him locked up for 6 years. 4 year deal, 5th year option, 6th year franchise tag.
