This lineman class is considered deep, and bengals have early draft picks.

Of course it’s no guarantee, but a tackle taken very early in the draft is more likely to succeed than a tackle taken later. There’s more successful first round tackles than 2nd round tackles.

In this wide receiver friendly league of the NFL, you can find quality players in the 3rd and 4th round.

Much harder to find a solid lineman in the 3rd round.

Well, it’s not like WR is our only other big need. I just wouldn’t want to leave a really good Edge like Basham or even a DT like Nixon on the board to take an offensive lineman that we have lower on our board. Now if Leatherwood or Eichenberg or someone else is there and you can make a case they’re the BPA anyway then sure.
