Get Thuney and either a draft pick to push Hart at RT by Fred Johnson. Johnson did pretty well in his limited opportunity at LT last year, and is built like a RT. I would rather, as many have said, go after a guy like Thuney for the RG position and Whit at the LG position than invest any money in Glenn for any spot on the line.
I remember reading somewhere that Taylor emphasizes the middle of the offensive line and I can't think of one that might be better, and relatively affordable, than Whit-Hopkins-Thuney. Have Williams at LT, Hart and Johnson battle it out at RT, and draft another OT to develop.
That is cool you talked to Thuney's folks. I like your plan SHRacer...
LT - Jonah Williams
LG - Whitworth
C - Hopkins
RG - Joe Thuney
RT - Fred Johnson, Hart, early Draft pick

After losing Roger Saffold in free agency, the Rams OL just didn't have it's same effectiveness, while Tennessee's OL added Saffold and D Henry tore up the league.
Just follow the success. Sounds pretty clear cut.

He basically shutdown any talk of them signing significant free agent players. Tobin and the Bengals must tell Hobson what to say because there’s no way a rational football fan believes these moves are significant enough to upgrade the roster. They’ve had the worse defense in the league the last two seasons a couple of rookies and signings like B.W Webb won’t change that. Dugas and Price are bottom of the roster guys and Johnson sample size is way to small , plus we have a chance to upgrade at the guard position.
Eh, just ignore Hobspin man. The last time we got a 1st overall pick and were bringing in a QB we made moves in FA
that helped out Carson Palmer. I think we will do the same again for Joe Burrow.

Not only does Burrow need to put a good impression on the Bengals but the Bengals need to indicate to Joe that they are serious about building a contender quickly.
Most certainly.
