Given the Bengals would spend a 4th rounder on Hall in this scenario, I couldn't see them dropping Hall for either Hunt or Gilberry. So either of those vets would likely just be training camp insurance in case a DE went down to injury prior to the start of the season (hopefully).
If Peko is back, there's no room for Sims as long as Billings is healthy. There's no way to justify three run-stuffing NTs. So if Peko does come back, cutting Sims would return $1 million to the cap space.
Who starts at RG in your mind given the mock you created? Would it be Magnuson? Or would a starting RG be picked up in FA and Magnuson back up Fisher at RT?
EDIT - Also, Hewitt could be the culprit at TE if one is drafted. Many (including myself) really liked the addition of Hewitt at H-B, but we've seen his offensive snap count drop from 43% in 2014 to 35% in 2015 and then all the way to 20% in 2016. From reading the below Cincy Jungle article for why Hewitt is getting fewer and fewer snaps, it could be worth replacing him and going with a 4th TE.

I think they'll let Westerman start at RG and yes Magnuson back up Fisher at RT. They won't do it because it's NOT the bengal way but I would almost cut MJ this year too. Let Charlton and Hall play.....bring back hunt or gilberry on a 1 year deal.
