Bring Andre Smith back to be the starter at RT, no more rotating with Ced/Fish.
Regarding LT, this team won't find a good one via FA and they clearly won't trade for one either since they had a chance before the deadline and didn't pull the trigger. With that said, this class of OTs looks better than last year's when considering ones to play LT.

Regarding OP, it'd be nice for the Bengals to bring in either a RG or C via FA to reduce the need via draft. Personally, I think C is more important than RG so I'd look to get C in FA and draft RG, but the more frugal option would be to get RG in FA and draft C. Either way, LT, C, and RG all need new faces. I'd say RT too unless Smith is brought back and is designated as the starter there.

After nearly three years of poor performance from Ogbuehi and Fisher, I don't see either of them ever becoming dependable OTs, and we all know my feelings on Bodine. I also think Hopkins is best served as a versatile backup. I'd like to see Westerman given a shot at RG or C before end of this season to see if perhaps one of those four spots can be solidified prior to the offseason.
