The Bengals set themselves up perfectly in that they have the freedom to take one early if it's the top guy on the board, but they aren't forced to. It would be smart to get one by the end of Day 2, especially if it's a guy they can kick to G for a year to help him develop. Oklahoma IOL Creed Humphrey is also a guy I would jump all over in 2.
Currently, they need 2 G's, though I think they will sign at least one before the draft. I would prefer Larry Warford over Trai Turner, as I think he's a much safer pickup.
I'm not too sure about that. Warford is still unemployed for a reason. While the public word to the media was that NO needed to move on to the next Guard up, for cap space reasons. The behind the scenes buzz was that his inability to control is weight gains was inhibiting his athletic ability to perform up to the level he had previously demonstrated. While I know that it's possible for him to have rededicated himself to his athletic career in his year off, something tells me that a rich guy with all the money he'll need to be comfortable for the rest of his life, might not have taken the disciplined course during his year off.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
