Do We Need Guards As Much As I'm Thinking?

[*ochocincos*]

Given all the visits Bengals have had with OL who are currently guards or tackles who are projected to move to guard, they definitely seem like they will draft one if not multiple OL who could play guard.

As of right now, the depth is Volson, Ford, Patrick, and Kirkland.
I would argue that's the worst Guard group going into the season the team has had in the Burrow era since his rookie year when they had Alex Redmond, Xavier Sua-Filo, and rookies Mike Jordan and Hakeem Adeniji.
It was so bad they got Quinton Spain midway through the season when he was cut by BUF.

Maybe I'm overly down on Ford and Patrick, but I don't see any of the guys for Guard right now I would want to be out there as a full-season starter.
Out of the group, maybe I'd prefer Patrick the most, but that might just be because he hasn't been on the Bengals before.
And I just haven't cared much for Ford nor Volson.

What I'd be looking to do is draft at least one Guard and then pick up a vet FA on the cheap after the draft based on how the draft went.
And any of the current guards would be competing for backup duties.
