I think Trai Turner would be a positive signing at low risk. In the two years at Carolina, his final grades were 64.5 & 63.9. That would constitute an upgrade for the Bengals.
Also, his o-line coach at the Chargers James Campen was more of a gap/power guy than what he ran his years prior. Campen was fired at the offseason. In fact, he is on his 4th team in as many years. His status is declining league-wide. His claim to fame is turning mid and late round draft picks into pro-bowlers (Linsey, Bakhtiari, etc.). That now appears more on the Green Bay’s FO.
Also, the notion that Johnson, Adeniji and even Hopkins can’t play guard is misplaced IMO. Hopkins continues to get better and the time he was playing at G is a while ago. FJ & HA have small sample sizes and no line chemistry to rely on. I’d leave it to Pollack and his zone scheme to be the ultimate judge of that.
