With Fa starting in 5 days what should the plan be? Zach Taylor seems comfortable leaving Williams at LT. Says to me even if Sewell is there they will most likely draft Chase. If he's gone do you draft the Wr from Alabama? Or TE Pitts? If they are going this route they better sign a RT a Guard and a Center. I'm ok with this plan if they fix the OL in FA with quality linemen. Thoughts?

Daryl Williams resigned with Buffalo today. Great deal for them too. I would’ve loved to see him in stripes. By not using the franchise tag they opened up a lot of free money for this year. If they cut Geno and Bobby Hart they could be around 60 mil in cap space. IMO they need 2 OL and 2DE a CB, DL in FA. With the money they have and the lowering of the salary cap there’s going to be bargains this year for the Bengals to get involved in. I’d like to see Zeitler back here. Then when it comes to the draft you draft best available. I like Sewell or Chase.

As I posted before they should go to FA for 2 good OL. This brings experience immediately. Draft another OL at 2 or 3 for the future. Get rid of Hart. I like Zeitler for two years. We need a receiver and Pitts could be a TE or WR and another further down in the draft. 77 please reply and give your wisdom to us. I hope you give us a detailed review of who the Bengals should draft.

Guard Thuney gone to Chiefs. Center Linsley may sign with Chargers. Bengals should act fast or best OL may be gone!

Looks like they plan to draft OL. They better. We need C OG hopefully draft LT if Sewell is there move Williams to RT. It wouldn't surprise me if they trade back and take Slater.

Still time left but choices are slim for OT. Riley Reiff (Vikings)is available but I think he is 35. Possible 1 year contract and can get him cheap. Not the Bengals MO (age, 1yr, but cheap yes). Agree we need OG/C. I would like one more experienced OL before Draft. Got to protect Burrow. What about WR? Bengals still have money to spend especially if they let Geno and Hart go.

Wouldn't surprise me if they draft Chase WR and draft a tackle for the right side rd2. Leaving Williams at LT

It also wouldn't surprise me if they traded the #5 pick and moved down and eventually drafted Slater. TE/WR Pitts has receive rave reviews. I feel better with the signing of Reiff but we still need another OL.

I like idea drafting Pitts. But only if they sign Golladay or Chase is gone. I think they might be wanting to sign Golladay along with Reif so they wud be in a good position to trade back or Pitts is the target. He is damn good and we need a TE.

Jake Liscow has them sitting around 19-20 mil salary remaining with the addition of Reiff and cuts of Atkins, Hart, etc. Golladay is asking for 18 mil per and multiple years. With salary lowered hardly anyone has that kind of cap. Giants have about 5 mil in cap. Do the Bengals sign him. If so, how much.12-15 mil range. A one year deal offers no flexibility in cap hit. Then you might not be able to add other pieces. Golladay intrigues me. Taking Pitts intrigues me but the Galloday price might get you one more FA. I’d target G Trai Turner. I’d like to see another veteran OL. It adds stability to the line quicker than rookies. Now say you pass on Golladay and pick up WR Josh Reynolds to be your 4th. Get veteran G Trai Turner to sure up interior OL and target another DE for FA. This opens up your draft to pick best player available. You could still draft Sewell, Chase or Pitts at 5. I’d like to see Chase so you get your #1 receiver. Then pick an OL in 2nd. If both are gone trade back get another second rd pick and take Pitts. With the two seconds I’d snatch up Another OL and DL. That strengthens both lines you get protection for Borrow plus Reynolds or Chase/Pitts for Joe to throw to. I believe this could get the Bengals on a quicker track to turning it around.

I honestly don't see how they can pass on drafting Sewell or Slater because they didn't do shit in FA to help OL. They signed a RT for one year. You have got to make protecting Joe a priority. He's a damn good QB don't ruin his career. I don't get what they're doing. They didn't fill needs on line or receiver we need multiples on both.

Rumors are strong possibility the target is Chase. Wr Lsu. Which isn't surprising I'm sure Burrows is chomping at the bit. It wud make a huge immediate impact on offense. I wud be down with that seeing how they could still get a tackle in rd 2 that wud be an upgrade. This draft has a lot of good linemen on both sides. I do think Chase wud make the biggest impact but like I said better go tackle rd 2 find a guard/center also.
