In this O-lineman deep draft there are more O-linemen with a second round grade than there are picks before us in that round so 8 teams would have to continuously jump us, even though there is O-line talent in round 3 as well and teams will have other needs as well as O-line.

eg using the Athletic's consensus big board drawn from more than 50 big boards. 

Landon Dickerson (33)
Samuel Cosmi (38)
Alex Leatherwood (39)
Creed Humphrey (42)
Dillon Radunz (44)
Liam Eichenberg (47)
Jalen Mayfield (48)
Wyatt Davis (55)

Then third round targets where the Bengals pick 5th in the round and have pick 69 and fourth round targets with pick 111
Quinn Meinerz (62)
Jackson Carman (70)
Josh Myers (72)
Trey Smith (75)
Brady Christensen (87)
Spencer Brown (88)
Walker Little (92)
Aaron Banks (96)
James Hudson (99)
Ben Cleveland (101)
Deonte Brown (106)
Kendrick Green (108)
Stone Forsythe (119)
D'Ante Smith (126)



As for need for a WR, the Bengals used at least 3 WRs on over 80% of their offensive snaps. It's a de facto starter. Teams are also more likely to jump the Bengals for WR because in a deep draft of slot receivers there are only a few WRs who match what the Bengals obviously need from that position (ie a quick outside receiver who complements Boyd and Higgins) whereas any of 4 O-line spots could be upgraded.

This logic is just flat out baffling to me:
"it's a deep offensive line class" = skip getting the best of a great pool at a position of great need and go with the 2nd tier because we need our 3rd receiver to have the potential to become our #1 WR over our current potential #1 WR because our QB used to know him and I really get off when the scoreboard lights up.
