Thoughts from Lap on LB, O-line, free agency

If that's the case, then it's Jonah and Johnson at the tackles, with Hopkins locked in at C. So what direction do we go at guard?

Do we roll with Jordan and Miller again next year? Try moving Hart to G? Sign or draft someone else to come in and start?

I think the Bengals should consider 2 IOL in the draft (one of them able to play Center in case injury to Hopkins), and OT in the top 4 rounds.  If the Bengals trade Dalton for maybe a 2nd & 5th, then they could maybe get Kindley or Biadasz or Adams/Jackson (OT) in round 2.   

There are not many top tier backers this year but there are several that would meet the needs for this team in: Dye, Brooks, Simmons, Baun, Phillips, and Surratt. I think Landman will be a sleeper and after looking at Surratt, I think he will be very good.  Surratt, Landman, and Woodward can be available in rounds 5-6.
