If we draft one early they may still only redshirt. If we get an old vet like Lewan for a year or two we still don't have a long term fix.
I'm assuming the FO sees Jonah and Jackson dueling for LT, and they'll take a RT (or LT really) in the first 4 rounds. Lewan would have to sit idle for a while and see his market dwindle. Then if he really wants to be a Bengal he may have to switch to the right side like Reiff did or one of the other guys would have to. I don't see it as ideal, but he is a cut vet and I really think they'll donrhe comp pick plan as a default.
Side note: I'm more interested in this comment

Yeah, but look at the depth we would have behind him... deepest LT group in the league.....
It was interesting that he brought up the Bengals without being asked.
