I took some Heat after the last Draft for simply wanting to switch out the Bengals pick of Malik Jefferson in round 3 for either Orlando Brown Jr (now with the Ravens) or Chukwuma Okorafor (now with the Steelers).
They are both well into the grooming stage and Orlando Brown Jr has been doing fine as the starting Right Tackle for the Ravens. Okorafor has been holding up well when called upon & is developing.
The Bengals would be a step ahead had they taken say Orlando Brown Jr last Draft. IMO
I'd take Andre back for next year given where the line is now but the Bengals would have to expect that he misses games with injuries.
Hart actually did better than I expected, stayed fairly healthy but could use an upgrade over him.
We have to wait and see what next year's Plan will be.
