If Penei was drafted at 5, is this a playoff team?

Who knows and who cares.

If ever there was a thread to lock, this is that thread.

I do hope that no one is foolish enough to believe however that this team is in the playoffs because of just one player. There has been improvement everywhere, coaching, play calling, the defense is healthy and playing better, it isn't just one pick that turned this into a playoff team.

Agree 100%

Love Chase but want O-line improved as well. Chase was the right selection considering Burrow connection and covid year making it hard to scout players and having Burrow's opinion on Ja'Marr had to help sway them that direction. 

Yet agree that it was all these additions that have Bengals setting where they are today,

Ja'Marr Chase
Evan McPhearson 
Trey Hendrickson
Chidobe Awuzie
Reilly Reiff
Larry Ogunjobi
Eli Apple
Mike Hilton
Coach Pollack

Amongst others and would have loved to have seen what Ossai would have brought to the table as well. 

Whoever orchestrated all these moves is the single reason the Bengals are heading to the playoffs. Personally would like to thank him in lieu of calling for his head on a platter and threatening to leave forum if he is not replaced immediately for being so bad. Don't always agree with his play calling, yet love his team structuring and am giddy about the future course he has paved for Bengals to travel upon.
