Going from Uzomah to Hurst is probably about a push at worst, might be a (slight) upgrade.
Hurst's best season (88 targets, 56 rec, 10.2 YPR, 6 TDs) is just a bit better than Uzomah's (63 targets, 49 rec, 10.1 YPR, 5 TDs).

Collins is an upgrade at RT, even over Reiff.
Cappa is a clear upgrade over anything Bengals put at RG last year.
Karras is likely an upgrade over a fully-healthy Hopkins. At least in the run game.

Other than potential worry about Carman slotting in as starting LG, it's really just about depth and/or future starter replacements heading into the draft. That's a spot Bengals haven't been in since...I can't even remember.

As a whole, I would grade the FA as a B.
A better starting CB and LG would have bumped it to an A for me.

Sorry, your expectations make no sense. #1 FA is not done, #2 the draft has not happened and #3 they greatly improved the OL without any major losses to FA.

I think some would moan unless we have above average starters backing up above average starters,

Bengals FO has only so much money to spend, I give them an A+ for spending it wisely for 2022 and anything added via draft or FA will just be a plus.
