I love Chase --would love him on the Bengals but when I think about our OLine I simply cannot justify passing on an elite offensive lineman. So if you are committed to drafting Chase --please explain how you think the OLine will give Burrows enough time to use the weapons he will have.
Here is my assessment of the line --please share yours
Williams is average but getting better and a long term piece.Reif is solid but signed for one year.
Hopkins is below average and coming back from an injury.
Spain, XSF are back ups. XSF was a back-up for Dallas, he signed for a back-up salary. Spain was cut by Buffalo during the year when they had title hopes. He just resigned for a back up salary. Which means the Bengals, the other teams and the player all accept that at least for this year --they look like a back up. If they or other teams thought they were starters --they wouldn't have signed for back-up salary
Pollack is better than Turner --but we had Pollack before and the line was not great. So why do we believe he can turn poor players into sound players?
I think because we watched Turner coach Redmond, Hart and Jordan --we overvalue Pollack, Spain and XSF.
Sewell or Slater become our best OLineman. They guarantee we have three strong OLineman. Waiting to round two is just to great a risk for me.
Love to hear your argument
