Just Lazy: Andre Smith Returns

I also know there were talks of the Bengals taking another OT in Rd 2 if guys like Little, Risner, or Ford were still there when the Bengals picked.

What they didn't do was get another OT aside from drafting Williams and re-signing Hart, therefore depending on the health of Williams, Hart, Glenn, and probably even Boling since they usually have 4 people on the roster who can play OT. Had they drafted or signed another OT earlier, maybe they'd be in a better situation than where they are now with Glenn, Hart, Andre, and ???

They drafted two high quality OL.  It's not their fault that Jonah got injured and Boling chose to retire.  What?  Did you expect them to just spend the entire draft on OL, and ignore good players available at other positions?

And, before anyone brings up any of the grossly overpaid guys that we didn't get in FA, just stop.  We have already done well in extending Tyler Boyd, and I fully expect AJ Green to get re-upped as well.  So, the team seems to have a plan for it's funds.

Cordy Glenn isn't "great" by any stretch, but he'll be "fine" for this season.  Andre Smith isn't who we want starting, but he's damn good insurance if Glenn or Hart get injured.  Then, you have to factor that other guys will get cut in camp.  This roster isn't anywhere near complete.
