If you see him sliding to LT to replace Brown, then it makes more sense.  

IMO we need to stop worrying about whether a 1st round pick is going to be someone they sign to a veteran long-term deal if they're too good.

If anything, Bengals will still get 5 years out of them, which is better than these 2-year or 3-year deals they typically do for veterans.
And they can (and likely would) franchise tag at least one year if need be, if not two.
