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.

2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

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.
