Zeitler is a top 5 RG, Boling is a top 10 LG, but that dang Bodine is definitely in the bottom half of NFL centers.

Our guards are probably a top 5 duo, but Bodine brings them down, I just need to decide how much that deserves to be weighed. I think I'll go 6-10 even though Bodine was all kinds of not good last year. Our guards deserve a high ranking, wish the polls were separated.

Green Bay, Baltimore, Cleveland, Dallas, and Chicago are probably the top 5 interior lines right now, unless I'm completely missing something. Unfortunately there's no way we're top 5 right now with Bodine. Anywhere from 6 to 16 could be arguable but it's probably closer to 10-16 as a trio.

This is a tough one.

I think Zeitler is in the top 5 to 7.
I think Boling is in  the top 10 to 12.
I think Bodine is 24 to 26.

So, if I average it all out, it appears to be 14th with Bodine killing the group.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

I said between 11-16 but it would be in the top 10 if our center wasn't terrible last season.

Jessie Bates left the Bengals and that makes me sad!

I'll go 6-10.

Yeah, everybody knocks Bodine, but give the kid a break. He's playing with some of the best linemen in the AFC. We've got two top 10 tackles, two top 10 guards. He's going to need a season or two to catch up to their level.
