If they take an OT and miss, then they will be chasing after a Tackle next offseason AND they missed the chance to hit at another position.

*If say they HIT on a WR in round one, then they don't have to spend Money on that spot next offseason. (or re-Draft that 1 Roster spot)

That in turn frees up Money for a Free Agent OT or whatever next offseason.

Same with Hitting on a DT or Corner or Interior O-line etc in round 1.

Hitting fills a spot and Frees up Money that can be used in the next Offseason by not having to fill that spot.

This is why I am more open to Drafting other positions in round 1 besides OT.

I don't mind if they take OT in round 1 but they just Flat out need to get it right.

Just hit Baby !

This is why I wasn't a huge fan of all the 1-year rental deals that happened in FA.
Having Trent Brown and Mike Gesicki for just this year doesn't solidify those positions.
Same with Higgins on the tag.
The Bengals still need multi-year stability there from quality performers, so a draft need still makes sense.
Those draft picks just don't have to be thrust into starting as rookies because of those 1-year rentals.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Bengals draft this season, as they could easily go a bunch of ways and it would make sense.
The debate will be why this position early vs that one, but there are a lot of spots that will need an upgrade this year or next year.
