Just a thought as if we do sign Whit and then Boling at LG, go sign Mangold, CedO at RG, Fisher at RT

Mangold has a MB signing all over it.  Ohio kid, high draft pick, cut from current team.

Maybe a second round pick on RT?



I think this would make our OL a lot better than last year.

Just my two cents:

Ced O should be nothing more than the extra TE at the goal line or short yardage until he shows he is ready to either replace Whit or gets released.  

Tackles that struggle and move to guard are usually big, strong, but not as athletic and light on their feet as is needed for the tackle position.  Some of them are successful moving to guard. That is not Ced in any way shape or form.  His supposed strength was his quickness and agility, but he appears (thus far) to be a massive whiff on talent evaluation.

A second round pick on a guy like Dan Feeney would make a ton of sense.  He could plug in and play right away and would allow for Whit and Dre to be signed with the savings of not paying Zeitler.  

I would have killed to have Mangold years ago, but he isn't anywhere near what he once was and it just isn't true that Mangold at 25% is better than Bodine.  I wish things were different but I don't see him helping the Bengals at all.

The best scenario is they trade AJM and/or slide back in Rd 1 and get as many as two extra 2nd round picks so they could get the Guard and Center (Elflein?) in addition to an impact LB, DE, WR, or CB.
