The Cincinnati Bengals were expected to pick at No. 12 overall on Thursday, as they played poorly enough to get a pick in the first half of the first round. However, they swung a deal with the Buffalo Bills to trade back, and not only got the No. 21 pick, but also left tackle Cordy Glenn. That was a great move for both sides, and it enables the Bengals to use their first round pick on another offensive lineman.

With Glenn at left tackle, the Bengals should look to bring in someone to add depth to the guard position. One player who could come in and start right away is Isaiah Wynn, who played all over the line during his time at Georgia. Wynn was a dominant player at tackle, and guard, and would be a guy the Bengals could come in and plug anywhere they felt they needed a starter next season.

Andy Dalton is still a solid quarterback, and Joe Mixon showed flashes of brilliance during his rookie season. In addition, A.J. Green is still one of the best wide receivers in football, so adding to the offensive line is going to make this offense so much better next season. They came on strong in 2017, and have the talent to make a serious run in the AFC North next season as well.
