I'd love to have James Daniels (in fact is in my next mock I'm writing up), but I can see the Bengals looking to instead just do the following:
- Re-sign Spain to cover LG
- Keep Hopkins at C
- Have RG be a competition between Adeniji and Carman
- Sign a stopgap vet RT like Ifedi or Reiff and then draft a guy to groom behind him

I realize that's not what fans would like, but I think it's a potentially realistic scenario if the Bengals are confident in Adeniji/Carman and feel Spain is "good enough."

I actually can't see a scenario where they do that.  Getting this far and still having a poor interior line will get them to address it in the offseason.

There's no way the go into the season with Adenji/Carman/Hopkins as the only interior guys competing for jobs.  I just can't see that happening after the last 2 weeks.

We really don't have any MAJOR needs outside of the line.  We are solid everywhere else.
