I thought letting Whit go was one of the biggest blunders this organization has ever made up to this point. Whit can still offer us some decent play at the position, and not to mention he can help develop some of the younger guys. I'm even all for hiring him onto our coaching staff when he hangs up his cleats.Absolutely. I think if they take a trade back in Rd 2 with someone that has a lot of draft capital and maybe picks up an additional 2nd rounder (might have to toss in a 6th for a 2nd) the Bengals could likely address three significant needs in the first three rounds (beyond the QB): OT has to be one of them, and if they are able to pull off those FA moves I keep yelling about (Whit at LG and Thuney at RG), they could get a WR, LB, and perhaps a safety to push Williams.
Those FA moves (or something similar) HAVE to happen. They may not like FA and would rather prefer to build through the draft, but when you whiff as big as you did on Glenn, Price, Ogbuehi, and Fisher....you have an immediate void to fill. FA can do that.
This will likely get me flamed, but I would rather see the Bengals sign Whit to play LG and Thuney to play RG than re-sign AJ Green.
I think they could get a really good WR in the draft in Rd 2.
