CINCINNATI — The Bengals added key pieces to their roster this offseason, including three starting offensive linemen. Despite the additions, they fell outside of the top 10 in ESPN's offseason rankings. 

Cincinnati was 11th, behind teams like the Ravens, Buccaneers and Dolphins. They signed La'el Collins, Alex Cappa, Ted Karras and Hayden Hurst in free agency.

"Are we sure the Bengals did enough to fix their offensive line? Collins missed all of 2020 with a hip injury, was suspended for the first five games of 2021 and didn't look like his usual self after returning," Barnwell wrote. "Karras is a solid player, but he has profiled better as a utility lineman in Miami and New England than he has as a full-time starter. Jackson Carman wasn't able to win a starting job a year ago, when Cincinnati's guards were among the worst in the league. The Bengals are better up front than they were on paper last season, but there's a decent chance we'll be sitting here next February expecting them to invest even further up front."

Barnwell praised the Bengals for adding proven pieces in the trenches, but it's fair to wonder if they did enough to fix the offensive line.
