Contract status of our o-line

My belief is, if you're drafting in the top half of RD1, you had better get somebody that is going to elevate a certain position of weakness, tremendously! I also believe in the BPA philosophy, just this year we need a lot at certain positions. 
We need to be big players in FA this year. That would help.

I agree with Rd 2 having probably just about as solid of a chance to find an upgrade compared to Rd 1.
In my original statement, I said Days 1/2, which are Rounds 1-3. I never said the OT had to come in Rd 1.
But the talent dropoff on Day 3 compared to Days 1/2 is usually pretty substantial. It takes an amazing scouting department to find those diamonds in the rough on Day 3 and the Bengals have not had great luck with that (just like most teams).

Given the propaganda being spat around by Hobson, Marvin, and Mike Brown since Marvin was retained, the Bengals are saying they'll change but actions are indicating they really won't.
Therefore, I don't expect the Bengals to be "big players" in FA because they will want to prioritize their own first.
I expect them to be the same ole Bengals and the only players that will be acquired in FA will be Bengals players that have hit FA. Any outside FA will come after the first week, like always.
