Oh well hope he bucks the trend for Burrow's and the rbs sake.

Jonah never became an all pro, but he did start a ton of games for us at LT and then last year did a decent job switching to the right side. He also must not be that bad, he got a nice 2nd contract this year. 

The Bengals have drafted only 3 OL in the past 22 years with a top 20 pick. Mims became #4. 

Bengals First Round Draft Picks The Last 10 Years | StatMuse

Levi Jones -#10 in 2002
Andre Smith - #6 in 2009 
Jonah Williams - #11 in 2018

None were a bust.

Now, we have Mims at #18. Others drafted in round one was a couple at #21 and later.

Many look at Carman being a bust, but he was not a 1st round pick.

Time to trust Duke, ZT and our leaders to draft well.
