Would you think it's easier for the Bengals to hit on a WR2 or a RT in the draft?
Personally, I think they're terrible at drafting OL and they've been pretty good scouting WRs, so I lean toward sign a vet RT (or re-sign Jonah) and draft a WR in Rds 1 or 2.
With that said, I do think the Bengals could find a way to actually keep Higgins and have a vet RT, but that could make the purse pretty tight for defensive FAs.
I may even take it a step further.
Add a Vet Left Guard and a Vet Right Tackle. (Karras ©, Cappa (RG) and Brown (LT) have been brought in already)
Use early Draft capital (Top 3 rounds) at other positions way more often than not.
Flat out Build a Top O-line with as many Proven Veterans as possible.
If an Offensive Lineman gets Drafted early, don't Plan on him starting right away only to find out that he is a weak link.
They could still take the occasional early round Offensive line pick but not put Burrow & Team success at risk with an unproven rookie.
