Daniel Jeremiah - Building an OL from a DL coach perspective

[*ochocincos*]

Daniel Jeremiah had a chat with a DL coach about the topic of building an OL.
He said the takeaway is it's more important how good your worst starter is than how great your best guy is because DCs will call plays to take advantage of the weak link(s).

Interesting cha with DL coach today. We were discussing building an OL. This was our big takeaway- More important how good your worst guy is than how great your best guy is. Defenses attack your worst guy every week. You can improve your worst starters with 2nd & 3rd rd picks.

With this said, does this change your perspective in how the Bengals should approach the OL via the draft?

I guess I've always taken that approach, which is to address your weakest spot(s) first. In the case of the Bengals, it'd be to fix (at least) one guard position first. Then look for potential replacements to OT and C.
