But our biggest need was OL. What won't we see in 2021? Much playing time from the OL guys we just drafted. There's some exciting prospects, but none of the OL drafted is better than what we've got. In a couple seasons, I think the guys we drafted have a chance of being pretty good, but we are rolling with the line we had a week ago.

On top of that, there's still the Jonah issue (the issue of him not being able to protect Burrow from his couch).

For down the road? Probably a very, very good draft. For people looking to see great strides in 2021? Meh.

But I think it locks Zac in to at least 1.5 more years. If the #1 need is an OL and you take a handful of OL projects/hometown ticket sales, you can't really fault the staff when it doesn't work out.

God help us if this is how it works. If this team has a losing record this year Taylor and his staff should be gone. The guy hasn't proven he can win at anything.  Then look at the defense, if the defense somehow isn't rated in the mid to upper teens at bare minimum somethings wrong. You spend $200 M in free agency and then still focus on the DL in the draft.
