Paul Daugherty: If Lewis is out, shouldn't Dalton follow?

While I agree with this approach, I see moving on from Dalton would open up the wallet a little more to address OL in FA.
And given the number of OL spots that need upgraded (four), the Bengals won't get immediate starters for all of those in one draft. They'll need a good FA or two.
Unfortunately, unless we see New England let Solder leave (highly doubtful), there isn't a LT worth picking up in FA. The RT market isn't very good either.
There are some solid C's and OG's that should be available in FA.
The upcoming draft has a handful of very strong interior OL prospects. The OT class looks more suited for run protection vs pass protection, but if that's acceptable then I could see an OT taken high.

Bengals also need another interior pass rusher, 3-down LB, and FS.
