My reply was to someone who thinks the line is shit.  I don’t think the line whole line is shit.  I’d still needs work, yes.  But outside of Superman no 1 man is going to be a magic cure all.  Except maybe Quentin Nelson.  He’s not available.  Thuney was available.  Is he worth 80 million?  Remains to be seen.  Those 2 are guards.  I think it’s fair to say the interior of the oline is the biggest issue.  He’s griping about the tackle we didn’t take.  Same as you apparently.

And for the umpteenth time.  I was banging the Sewell drum early and often.  Until I read something about RAS scores.  You should check them out.  The bengals still have options for the line.  Someone could get released.  They could possibly trade for some oline help.  They can resign reiff next year and beyond.  And draft oline help next year.

When picking in the top 5 I want a player with a chance of making all pro and pro bowls.  I think chase has a better chance of doing that.  Time will tell.  And oh, btw, wr was a need too.  That position group is price controlled for next few years which will allow them to pursue other areas

Jonah and Reiff are good OTs.
The problem is with OT depth.

Hopkins is a great pass blocker. A lot of room for improvement as a run blocker though, and at this point in his career, he probably is who he is.
So he's a "C" if I were grading him.

The guards are the biggest concern.
With that said, I do like Carman, especially at OG. I think it may fit his play style and help hide his deficiencies with speed rushers.
I'd like to think Spain will be better after a full offseason compared to coming into a brand new scheme midseason.
I think/hope there will be a competition for the starting OG spots between Spain, XSF, and Carman.
