I mentioned this in comments a few posts down, but it deserves note on its own as well: the St. Louis Rams today released Hall-of-Fame-bound LT Orlando Pace.
The move is relevant to the Bengals in two ways. First, if healthy, Pace represents a stopgap veteran option at tackle, in much the same way that Richmond Webb was a few years back. But more importantly, the release of Pace would seem to lock St. Louis into offensive tackle with the second overall pick. Should the Lions choose OT over QB with the first pick, and the Seahawks excercise their option to replace Walter Jones at four, then the top three tackles could be off the board by the time Cincinnati chooses at six.
