I'm still of the opinion that we should get two more OL in FA. First, we need a quality center, who would ideally not only fill in for Hopkins while he still recovers from his injury, but hopefully would be an upgrade over him. Second, I still believe we need a good guard to upgrade over XSF/ Jordan. Add in the fact that injuries seem to hit a particular position group in bunches the last couple years, I would like a lot of quality depth in place which we don't have right now. I hope JW and RR stay healthy and play all the games this year at a high level, but I'm hedging my bets by getting two more versatile C/G, G/T types, along with drafting one more OL (Sewell or Slater in the first in that order) or if we take Chase/Pitts in the first, get a versatile OL in the second or third. And a good DL in the second or third, so that rotation also gets reinforced.
I want the Bengals to try to have plenty of depth on the OL to make sure that JB can get time in the pocket, even if one or two of our first day starters get injured at some time during the year.
