There are some other tackle options I would be OK with in 3. I always revert to Wilson because of his size and youth. I remember being blown away when the Ravens landed Orlando Brown in the 3rd. With a lot of depth at the top of the tackle class I don’t think  pick 65 is a that far of a drop for him.

All the guaranteed money was just because of an article I had read saying Bengals are not ever high as far as guaranteed money. So maybe some fully guaranteed contracts are what it will take to make some noise in free agency. 21mil is a lot for Wolfe but I think he would be worth it.

I disagree.
He only received $17.5 mill guaranteed on his last contract, which was a 4-year deal and his prime years.
With his lack of elite production and exiting his prime years, it doesn't make sense to give him even more guaranteed money.
Between $10-15 mill would be more than fair IMO.

Personally, I'd rather use Wolfe's money and get a guard, but that's because I have no faith in the current guards the Bengals have.
