I can’t believe I have to say this but yes the Bengals continue to get in their own way and miss at the offensive tackle position. Carmen have the injury issues and we even trade it back and passed up on good offense of lineman prospects to take him ogbuehi had the injury issues and missed almost a whole season lacked reps and then sucked Jake Fischer was drafted probably a round or 2 too early then had the heart issue and sucked the list just goes on and on however that doesn’t mean you don’t select one if it’s a need they just need to hit on it and instead of trying to outsmart everyone they need to just draft the consensus top tackle available unless it’s too far of a reach then you trade back but if Latham Fuaga Fuatanu are there you take them it’s that simple I think you even take Mims the points for him to sit a year behind Brown that would be perfect for him just cause they suck at evaluating and selecting offensive lineman doesn’t mean they stop drafting offensive lineman and that doesn’t mean that we don’t prioritize it because Burrow still the number one priority so we have to protect him waiting to the fourth or fifth round like we did with Volson is not smart especially at the right tackle position I don’t think it gets easier to find good offensive lineman the longer you wait in the draft that’s just me
