I agree with this.
The secret to a winning organization is to have the winning lottery ticket (Joe Burrow) and then managing the salary cap.
It takes 3 years to develop offensive lineman. I think Jonah Williams in his 3rd year including his injured year is just now playing his best football. The Bengals have invested heavily through the draft on their Offensive Line. Jackson Carmen (1), D'ante Smith (1), Trey Hill (1), Isiah Prince (2), Hakeem Adenji (2). The amount of playing time/experience they got this year will only help them get better.
It will be interesting to see what they do in FA and the draft this coming year. I could actually see them trading their draft pick to fall further back in the draft to pick up future draft picks.
