Hopkins needs to be a priority re-sign, and John Miller has been serviceable. Between OT, LG, and RG, I think RG is the lowest priority to try to replace.
With that said, if the Bengals were to go to the draft, here's my early simulated selections for 3 rounds if team went all OL (expecting Top 3 pick):
1) Andrew Thomas, OT Georgia - Thomas has proven he can play both RT and LT. If the Bengals don't sign a FA OT, I'd love to see Thomas drafted and have him bookend with Williams.
2) Trey Adams, OT Washington - Once a surefire first rounder franchise LT but multiple years with injuries (ACL, back) have kept him from going to the NFL so far. He appears healthy now and seems to be good once again. For the record, I realize someone with injury is a risk and I am fine with avoiding Adams due to his injury history.
3) Logan Stenberg, OG UK - Strong run blocker and a lot of experience at the LG spot. I could see him going in Rd 2 but I felt too early to pick him at the top of Rd 2. If the team found all of Thomas, Adams, and Williams to be good starters, I could see Stenberg replacing Miller at RG rather than slotting him at LG.
If the Cincinnati Bengals goes anywhere near Adams with his injury history they're going to be some serious issues around here.
