Guard in the first round?

they are different than Tackles. You can usually find a good one in the 3rd round that could start immediately. They aren't nearly as coveted 
as Tackles early. Thankfully we got Mims last season and Orlando is coming back.

Need to bring back Cody Ford but he isn't a starter. Have to add a Guard in FA at the very least, preferably 2 IMO.

It's kind of a deep DL class, but from what I see, situational guys or guys who need time to develop some in the mid and later rounds.
There's value there in getting DL in the middle rounds if you have solid starters set going into the draft.
But I'm not seeing guys in Rds 3+ who I would consider 3-down guys that could start immediately and be markedly better than 2nd-year Jenkins or Jackson.

If Bengals have a plan to start Jenkins, Jackson, and/or Murphy, I'm looking to draft 2 DL within the first two days of the draft.
