He was only penalized twice and gave up only 3 sacks in his first year at LT. He also graded out at 70.1, which is way higher than any of our OT's. With him at LT and Reiff at RT, the Bengals are set. I look for Cincinnati to either take Pitts or trade down. I'd offer them the #25, #33 and A.J. Can to move up into that spot.

From a trade value chart perspective, that wouldn't get it done.  I explained it on the college board and I'll give the short version here.

The #7 is worth 1500 points.  The #5 Cincy owns is worth 1700.

To get to 7, the Jaguars could offer the #25 (720), #33 (580) and get to 1300 points.  We'd have to offer the 3rd rounder (265) to get to Detroit at 7.  I don't think Cann is worth a high 3rd rounder in trade.   We'd have to offer the #45 (450 points) to get to 5-if Cincy would be open to that move.

Of course, that deal would leave Cincy with #25, #33, #36, and #45.

Cincinnati will still take Penei Sewell. Turns out they got a steal on Reiff. Signed him 1 year $7.5 million with $5.5 million guaranteed. That is a steal and is what a real insurance policy looks like. He is way better than any of our OT's on the roster and we're gonna be paying Cam Robinson twice that amount and Taylor $2.5 million to be half the players. What a missed opportunity to upgrade for cheap!
