What is the Bengals’ biggest roster question heading into summer break?

The Bengals are off into their summer break following the conclusion of OTAs.

Overall, it’s been a productive offseason for a franchise that is coming off back-to-back losing seasons, which came after five-straight playoff berths. When the start of free agency began, the Bengals were closer to being a team that would make it a third-straight non-playoff season in 2018, but they’ve made big strides in the months since.

That includes an upgraded coaching staff, highlighted by new offensive line coach Frank Pollack. There’s also the offensive line itself, which has seen dramatic upgrades brought in by landing left tackle Cordy Glenn via trade and center Billy Price via the NFL Draft.

All of these additions have turned what was the team’s biggest weakness into a unit that has the potential to be a strength in 2018.

But before that can happen, the Bengals have to figure out what the right side of the offensive line looks like. We know that Glenn, Price and Clint Boling will likely make up the left side of the line, but right guard and right tackle are still big question marks.

It just so happens the right side of the offensive line is ESPN’s pick for the biggest remaining roster decision for the Bengals to make.

Solving the right side of the offensive line. The Bengals’ disastrous offensive line play in 2017 has been addressed on multiple levels already this offseason, as the team replaced its position coach (Frank Pollack takes over for longtime leader Paul Alexander), traded for tackle Cordy Glenn and drafted center Billy Price in Round 1. But there’s little clarity right now on the right side. The guard battle figures to feature Trey Hopkins (12 starts in 2017) and Christian Westerman, while tackle could be a battle between three tackles taken in the 2015 draft: Jake Fisher, Cedric Ogbuehi and Bobby Hart (signed this offseason).

It’s hard to argue, though there are plenty of candidates to fill those spots. Alex Redmond and Christian Westerman both showed a lot of promise at times in 2018. Either one could turn into a solid starter at right guard.

Right tackle is a bigger question mark. Jake Fisher has had some nice moments, but he was struggling in this spot before being lost in the middle of the 2017 season to an irregular heartbeat.

Cedric Ogbuehi has experience at right tackle, and he’s also been garnering praise from the coaching staff this offseason. Still, he’s in the ‘believe it when I see it’ zone until he proves it on the field.

Needless to say, it’s hard to argue that the right side of the offensive line isn’t the biggest question mark right now.

That said, what do you think is the biggest question needing to be answered before the regular season begins?
