Bengals offense continues to struggle / Reiff hurt

With 10 picks we took three OL and 4 DL to go with WR, K and RB. So on the good side we restocked the cupboards for both lines. On the other side draft picks are rookies so we need time for all the new kids to develop. But to be honest we NEEDED to do this type of draft for years - and I would not be opposed to us doing it again as in concentrating on one or two position groups and just totally reloading them.

Honestly, I would go line heavy in the draft as a general rule the majority of the time (say 2 out of 3 year) unless there is a can't miss prospect.   While they won't fix everything, a good offensive and defensive line can help keep the team competitive vs. having all skill players with no lines. 

Sorta like building a house.   if you don't have a good foundation, it's not going to last or stand up under pressure.   Provide a solid foundation, and it can last for years.
