Cincinnati Bengals OT Andrew Whitworth likely will start at either left tackle or right tackle next season. Meanwhile, second-year pro Anthony Collins could start at right tackle next season. Source: Bengals.com Mancini's Take: Collins is a guy I really like. He stepped in and played like an established veteran in his rookie year. He's strong enough to stop the bull rush, but he's also quick enough to make plays on the move. His big reach also gives him an advantage over the defenders he's protecting his quarterback from. Mandel's Take: Whitworth is going to get a shot at the left tackle gig now that Cincy is ready to admit that the Levi Jones experiment was a dismal failure. Collins will also factor into the offensive line after impressing everyone last season in his rookie campaign. Of course, Cincy also has the sixth pick in the draft and could select one of the mammoth linemen available to provide--gasp--some actual depth to a key position. They have some solid offensive linemen already, which is a good start, but the key to success in the NFL is depth, depth, depth on the lines. Come on Cincy, turn it around already!
