While I thought both Westerman and Redmond showed well at the end of the year, I wouldn't want to make them both incumbent starters. Just one at most.

If the Bengals were really wanting to go all-in though on OL, Hernandez/Wynn at 21, Price/Ragnow at 46. But then you're not addressing any other spot until Rd 3 or later, which I'm not sure the Bengals would wait to do.

There is something about rookies that so many people don't realize.  They're spent.  They go through their seasons, bowl games, and then immediately join a tough regimen for training for the combine.  A few weeks after that, they are heading to OTAs.  

So many rookies are just worn out their first year, especially linemen.  I think Redmond and Westerman have built up their strength and know what is expected of them.  I think they deserve a shot.  Draft other linemen?  Sure, but I would address the RT position and LB before going that early on an interior lineman on offense.  I do like Ragnow in Rd 2 or 3, but only if they are unwilling to look at Westerman as an option to push (out) Blodine.
