Not overly surprising that the Bengals are checking out o-linemen prospects, but Moton is projected as a 3rd rounder by Walter Football. Walter also has the Bengals taking linemen back to back (he has us snapping up Moton as well) in rounds 2 and 3.
So I guess my question is, would you guys feel better about the line after the additions of Andre Smith and a couple solid prospects? Also, are there any particular players that jump out in this draft?
Unless one of them will immediately be one of the two top LT in the league, then no.
The OL was an abomination last season, and anything less than an elite LT and a solid RG will put them in worse-than-2016 territory. This is the problem with the Bengals approach in FA. You're always relying on your draft picks to hit just to bring you back to your previous level rather than getting better.
