Resign Spain and let him and XSF battle it out for RG. Not a chance I trade back if Sewell is there. Assuming he's gone (and unfortunately, I think he will be), then you entertain offers as I don't think anyone else is a can't miss top 5 guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him at LT. Then grab another RT (trade/draft/FA) for RT and move Jonah to LG. Hopkins and Price can battle it out for C, but even with a new OL coach, I would think Hopkins would win.

Price has been bad at guard, but has looked equal to Hopkins at center. Free agents this year look heavier at guard than tackle, I'm not sure I'd expect us to find a starter at tackle. I think Jonah can play on the right, but there will also be options later if we trade down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go Sewell and still grab Leatherwood or someone like him in the second and let the pieces fall where they may. Or do something totally unheard of................. trade a future first or second for another OT on a team needing cap space. I know he's struggled this year, but I would absolutely call the Giants about Thomas and move him to RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Giants are stupid enough to give up on Andrew Thomas already, then yes, we should absolutely cash in on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Giants aren't going to trade Thomas this offseason. There are likely to be some overpaid vets getting cut at the beginning of free agency so we might go panning for gold there. But let's hire a new O-line coach with a record of success first, preferably in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a veteran we try to trade for, and the price from us should go down. I just picked a name off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Mike Brown doesn't believe in trading future draft picks for players now. If he did, he might have made a deal early in the year when it was obvious the O-line sucked and before Burrow got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalsBite Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 todd mcshay has the bengals selecting rashawn slater in his latest mock. he basically says like “he’s the best OL after sewell is gone so they pick him here.” i would simply hate it he also says to watch for the bengals to move up to grab sewell. someone else had us moving up to 3 to grab sewell but idr who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would likely literally turn down a trade that was 5 and Hart for 3 (Sewell). So no, we can't expect them to trade up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forsee a trade up, but could very easily see us taking Slater because they want a tackle and don't want to risk trading down 5+ spots where the value made sense.
