Either/Or (IOL)

[*ochocincos*]

Ya know, back when I thought Bengals were going to pick in the 10-15 range midway through the season, I was all about Tyler Linderbaum.
I really think he's a great fit at C for the Bengals.

But once the Bengals made the playoffs, I really felt Linderbaum was out of reach. I started really focusing on Zion Johnson, who I felt (and still feel) is one of the very few IOL that can start from Day 1 and play at least solid. Toss in Zion's versatility to play OG, OT, and even some C (which he played at Senior Bowl), and he became my favorite OL toward the end of Rd 1.

This was all also before FA, so Karras wasn't added yet. But I'm not sure how much it matters if Karras is here since he can play all IOL spots.

I think ultimately I'll have to go with Zion.
His versatility will help a lot in case of injuries, plus I think he's more scheme diverse.
