Fact of Fiction: Do the Bengals Invest in Guards

With the draft being solid this year, and a QB that has promise I don't think it will be ignored. Do I think were going to go after Thuney/Scherff, no, but I do think we will look at the next tier of guys who are solid players, just not pro-bowlers. I expect us to take a tackle in the first 3 rounds of the draft depending on the board, I'm assuming it will be in rd 2. So with that in mind these are guards I think we look at, after cuts:

cutso-line)

1) Michael Jordan-.975
2) BJ Finney-3.5
3) Bobby Hart 5.9

-10.3 million for o-line help.

Free Agents

1) Jon Feliciano- 3yr/ 21 million

2) Matt Feiler- 3yr/18 million- swing G/RT.

-I think this helps the O-line and we can add some young guys in the draft to strengthen it.

tackles
1) J.Williams
2) F. Johnson
3) A. Adeniji
4) DRAFT PICK (Christian Darrisaw-trade back)

Center
1) B. Price
2) T.Hopkins

Guards
1) Feliciano
2) XSF
3) DRAFT PICK-that can play G/C (Creed Humphrey)

Swing
1) M.Feiler G/RT

Jon Feliciano at 7 million a year when Mike Brown says, " WHY SHOULD I PAY A GUARD ".  Mike Brown didn't pay Montoya or Steinbach or Zeitler and he sure isn't paying Feliciano. " WHY SHOULD I PAY A GUARD ". 

I'm not that happy about players you have at Center here, they both stink.  Price has had his chances, and he stinks every time he comes in game. 

I'm hoping we draft Sewell and at least have Williams and Sewell at Tackles.  Since Mike Brown doesn't pay inside the Tackles.  If we are lucky enough to still have Sewell on the board at 5, it needs to be the choice, this isn't rocket science. Williams and Sewell is a good young start on fixing this awful, awful O Line.
