So many rookies are just worn out their first year, especially linemen. I think Redmond and Westerman have built up their strength and know what is expected of them. I think they deserve a shot. Draft other linemen? Sure, but I would address the RT position and LB before going that early on an interior lineman on offense. I do like Ragnow in Rd 2 or 3, but only if they are unwilling to look at Westerman as an option to push (out) Blodine.

Must not have.

with those guys but i thought Westerman always has looked good and Redmond seems to be that physical RG that at the
very least can be a good backup. Guard is definately not as big of a concern as Center or even RT that is for sure.
Guards grow on trees, not Tackles like Glenn or Centers like Ragnow, Price or Daniels.
Yep, not giving up a sack last season should stand for something.
I tend to judge players on how they play on the field, not how they perform at the underwear olympics.
But still, made quite a few people wonder if Orlando will put forth the effort at the next level. This is why he will fall.
All for him in the 3rd now.

This is why I hate the combine. Good players drop because of their 40-yard dash or their high jump. I get the need to interview players and all, but show me game film instead of his 40-yard dash or high jump or even bench press. I think Orlando Brown will be a solid player in the NFL and if the Bengals grabbed him in the 2nd round, I'd be ok with it.
I think they need to get a Center first. It would be great if Tremain Edmonds or Vea was available at 21 and Price/Daniels/Ragnow available in the 2nd. Won't happen though.

Word is he is about to be highest paid LT. If Glenn was a FA he would have as much of not more interest.
Glenn’s contract is about to look really good, i think

? #Bengals trade for OT Cordy Glenn! ?
Get to know the newest member of the #Bengals ?: https://t.co/b8mWcqLeD6 pic.twitter.com/sXChRqhnyw
NEW #Bengals OT @cordyglenn77: I had a lot of mixed emotions when it happened. The process is similar to when you first come into the NFL and it is different but I am happy to be in Cincinnati.

(03-14-2018, 09:35 AM)SHRacerX Wrote: [ -> ]Agreed. There is better depth at Center than starting RT, IMHO. I would love to see the Bengals slide again in Rd 1, get Brown for RT, and then Ragnow for Center, and Shaq Griffin as LB. Turds become backups, LB has coverage skills and speed to burn in nickel package.
And for those saying Griffin is too small. He's almost identical to Odell Thurman, but faster, and not an idiot.

We haven't really been solid at C since R. Braham
