With Tee and Boyd gone I feel it would be paramount to get a weapon there and could always address RT in FA next year and draft one to boot. 

Plus the Bengals track record at drafting OL is no sure thing that he would become a franchise RT. 

Although I get it and am almost always the guy that says draft trenches instead of new shiny toys. Believe it would be the exception to the rule if losing the starting RB, WR#2 AND WR#3 though. 

So yes, I'm ok with it per a drafted RT may not even play this season unless someone moves to Guard and bumps Volson out. Bengals have many late round picks to take flyers on OL as well or could use one or two of their 3rd round picks too.

Yet will be ok with it if they do defat OL early, but not what I would do if trading Tee
