I'm optimistic

Guards are VERY important in the modern NFL. The Bengals are still stuck on thinking Tackles are the premium position.

That said, the Browns upgraded their line and started to win this year. The Bengals seem to copy teams in the division, so hopefully they take notice of that.

I wonder if Alexander is interested in coming back? Might depend on coaches.

The Patriots are projected to have $94 million in cap space. They may tag Thuney.

They tagged him this year, and I think it is very cost prohibitive to do it a second time.  They may extend him, instead.

That being said, I hear what you are saying about the guard position, but I think they always felt the same way about the DT position.  When was the last time they used a top 50 pick on a DT?  Well, they signed DJ Reader to a nice contract so maybe that shows a bit of a shift at the interior positions.
