I could see us trade back into round 1 to geta 5th year option for the WR they fall in love with. I also see no way AJ walks and as you said at a minimum they tag him. I think in the end Green re-signs for 2 or 3 years prior to the 2020 season.
I also see the Bengals doing something with the OL in free agency, not at tackle, but at guard.
The big question though becomes what will they do to fix the defense which is not close to playoff caliber. Lots of holes to fill so hopefully a trade and some cap money as a result and a draft pick helps them create some cap room for the defense.
If they sign Whit to play LG, it could be something like 2 years, $18 million, and Thuney for RG could be 5 years, 60 million. You could trade or release John Miller and apply that savings to these contracts as well as that of Glenn, Dalton, and Dre K (Who Darius Phillips outperformed).
Can you imagine a line of Williams-Whit-Hopkins-Thuney-Hart/Johnson?
Do that, and draft a slipperly WR at 33 and this offense could really take off. The rest of the draft could go to the defense.
