I don't feel so bad about RG at the moment. Redmond isn't very good, but Hopkins looked really good at Center, so him + Price is a good 1 2 punch that could occupy C-RG.

And Westerman remains a good option despite this coaching staff ignoring him.

You can find guards later in the draft anyway.

The other round 1 or 2 choice I hope we get is a good Linebacker. Our LB core is depressing.

I don't really like the FA LBs either, so I think draft makes more sense. Given the crop of LBs in the draft, I don't think there will be good options late, so I too think Bengals should get one no later than Day 2. With the Bengals seeming so unwilling to go after higher-priced OL in FA, they probably need to also look at early-round OTs. Another pass catcher probably should also be brought in. I'm tired of rolling the dice on Eifert.

If the Bengals pursued a guy like Jared Cook as a stopgap (he's probably the best bargain-bin pass-catching TE) for a year or two, the draft could end up something like...
1) RT
2) LB
3) OG
4) Swing OT

I lose all hope for anyone to become a significant contributor after Round 4. Depth or ST only Rounds 5-7.
