Last 8 years they've used 1st round picks 3 times on OL that are all on their OL now... Taylor Decker, Frank Ragnow, Penei Sewell. Plus two 3rd round picks (one a Pro Bowler) rounds out their starting 5. All drafted by them, 3 of them Pro Bowlers. It has let them run the ball and make Jared Goff look good.

Bengals in that same timespan have drafted Cordell Volson, Jackson Carman, D'Ante Smith, Jonah Williams, Billy Price, and Michael Jordan.

Being fair, the Bengals wanted Ragnow.  They just painted themselves into a corner by locking in on drafting a C in the 1st and panicked and took Price when Ragnow went off the board in front of them.

Sewell has been a good player, but he's also turned out to be the 3rd best T in that class behind Darrisaw and Slater, so I don't know how much credit you can really give their scouts on that one.  That was honestly such a stupid stacked class that you could have put the Top 10 prospects on a dart board and you'd have gotten a stud.
