No we shouldn't need an offensive tackle for quite sometime at least 8 years. We got our guys over the last few days. No, I'm not over it yet and its going to take a bit as a longtime fan. I'll get down route 4 towards Fairfield eventually but not until week.....
That was a MB/ Paul Alexander move so its gonna take me some time.

Luckily, the Bengals have their starting OTs for this year in Jonah and Reiff, so it allows a year of development for Smith and Carman, although I do expect Carman to start at RG instead of being a backup OT this year.

I don't have faith that Smith will be ready to take the reins at RT in 2022, and if Carman moves to RT in 2022, it leaves a gap at RG again.

So I don't necessarily think OT is a need yet, but some OL spot likely will be.
