why did we draft a guard in the first round?

The one thing I can think is the Bengals wanted a guy to play on a rookie contract for 5 years then would replace him.

Ideally they would have drafted and started grooming his replacement 2 years ago.

Perhaps they have?  I took a little time and reviewed the draft profiles of all of our bench OL.  Trey Hopkins is the only one with the specific skill set that is typically associated with a RG.
