I think me and Shake agree that IF Boling and Glenn were both healthy, that 1 was getting cut.

And re: Boling - They knew BEFORE the draft that he was retiring. Signing a Saffold or drafting a Guard in the 2nd Round...would have helped. Instead...we got a blocking TE.

We don't know exactly when they knew. They might not have known until after FA started. As for drafting a guard in the 2nd round, who should have been selected?

Guards drafted between Drew Sample and Michael Jordan who have played this season:
Max Scharping - below 60 pff grade
Michael Deiter - below 40 pff grade(!)
Nate Davis - below 50 pff grade(!)

Connor McGovern has a 60 pff rating but he's playing C.

Point being that it wasn't like there were any good options for LG available in the draft without drafting UP in Rd 2 to get one of Ford or Risner.  The Broncos "stole" Risner the pick before the Bengals and it was rumored the Bengals were going to take one of Risner or Ford if they fell to Bengals. Problem with Bengals is they don't seem to ever be willing to trade up on Day 1 or Day 2, only Day 3.
