I know he has some bad snaps on tape but those snaps if you watch come with him playing on the edge at OT because of injuries. He was interviewed at the combine and is open to trying center though he has not played the position before.
The Bengals and particularly Zac love versatility. It’s so important in the OL. That was the big draw for Carman. That was the big draw for Karras. It’s why I think if a great pick isn’t there at #31 Dax Hill is a possibility. Green is ridiculously versatile. They love versatility. Green I think has some upside as well. But I believe somebody good will be available at #31. I personally like Zion Johnson but doubt like I said gets past Dallas and Linderbaum goes to the Ravens. But Green would be great because of his versatility for sure.
Zion to me gives us a player that will hold the pocket. I think Joe struggled more when the guards and centers were pushed back. Johnson that’s not happening. As optimistic as some Bengal fans can be ( sans Fredtoast) I don’t think most realize what a run game will do for the offense. It’ll help in pass pro. But if the Bengals can run from passing sets w/o leaving Mixon and the TE to pass pro oh my!!!!! If teams must blitz to get pressure they can’t double cover as much.
