There is not likely a starting level LT available where we pick. And a FA starter who is better than Jonah is gonna be too expensive.
Taking a RT or developmental LT in Rd2 or Rd3 is probably our best bet. I'd note that Collins has experience at guard as well.
If we are able to retain a lot of our FAs (Bell, Bates, Hurst, Pratt, Apple, Perine), we will not have a lot of open spaces on the roster. Trading up should be considered. But it is a weak class in terms of OT (and even high level guards).
We are gonna need cheaper replacements at other spots as well (WR, DB, DT, DE, OG, OC, S, LB). We traded up twice last year. But moving up in the first will be more costly.

Let’s just hope it’s permanent this time. Only guy I’ve ever had to put on ignore in my 6+ years on this board.

He has a tendency to call people insulting names. I was glad, however, to see that he'd deleted the post where he called me one. Showed some self awareness of how he treats people, and I felt more comfortable going back to that thread after the post had been deleted.

No idea. Like I said, I have him on ignore. Not the first time they’ve banned him though. Hope it finally sticks.

It was probably the mods that deleted it.

People shouldnt be calling people names and I'm sure I've done it plenty of times here myself, but you shouldn't be feeling uncomfortable posting in a thread just because someone's being a jerk.

If he were in for a huge contract I’d tell him don’t play, but honestly him finishing up the season may actually help his contract negotiations. Jonah has definitely not been given the tough label

If he plays and worsens the injury/reinjures, he likely won't be healthy by March 15th so the Bengals can't cut him. Until March 15th his 5th year option is only guaranteed for injury. On March 15th it becomes fully guaranteed if he's on the roster.

Someone on Twitter made the suggestion to get Becton from NYJ who may need a change of scenery after two years of injury and draft a RT to replace LC.
I personally would like a combo of Wright (Tenn) in rd 1 as a LC replacement and Bergeron in 3 as a Jonah replacement in waiting. He performed well against Murphy (a top 5-10 prospect) this season.
Edit: before anyone mentions JC, we all know that was a forced pick by MB from a recommendation of Piano Man. Even Pollacks attitude towards JC this season speaks volumes of that being the case.
If Becton is proven healthy ? Then would love this move, dude is a beast and very agile for his size. Plus the Jets have found his replacement while he was injured and would probably be open to moving him.

I mean, he's been hurt almost as much as Jonah. He may also be willing to take a "discount" if he comes here and flourishes with a coach that knows him. Now the only question I have is, does he have left right versatility or stuck in Jonah's spot? That is the key to what a trade for him would limit our value for trading for him.

I mean, how much would we have to pay a guy tom come in for 3 games and a chance at a ring? Seems to me any available tackle would be slobbering.
