Tackle isn't the biggest need on the line. The team cannot run the ball mainly because of Bodine and whoever is playing at RG. That needs to be fixed and hopefully they draft both a C and an OG early.
That being said, right now the Bengals are sitting at #5 overall. IF we are still sitting at that spot, then you can damn well bet that we will be looking long and hard at a QB.
I think they'd look but I'd rather trade back for more picks if possible and really load up the line.

(see Cleveland Browns, over and over) You have to get better at the fundamentals of the game, blocking and tackling. Our tackling isn't really the problem, it the blocking. This team sucks at blocking. They can't open holes for runners, they can't even allow a few 5 step drops to happen each game. They are terrible at blocking, one of the key fundamentals of the game. If you can't block, your skill players never have a chance, no matter how good they are. (see Aaron Rodgers, broken collar bone)
True, but if you have a shot at a franchise qb you take him and build around him. Bring in a free agent lineman or two to help protect him. Not that the bengals would do that. And Rodgers had some lineman hurt and was tackled on a rollout but I get your point.
