Now that we have all these tempting skill positions and hyped up players at other positions that we can get its no longer the #1 priority. Im to blame also for wanted a DE in the first maybe even a LB but it all depends who's there. I just hate the argument that the best Oline player is not worth a #9 pick but is worth the 16th pick??? WTF unless you have 2 picks before 16 it shouldnt matter. If the guy is the best at that position he wont be there in the 2nd so you might as well take him at 9 while you can. If he turns out to be a franchise OT for the next 10 years who gives a shit where he was taken.
Honestly, I don't see an OT that is worth a top 20 pick. Cam Robinson isn't a great pass blocker - he can run block pretty well, but that doesn't help our major problem. The Bengals aren't going to burn a 1st round pick on an OT when they have 2 young guys and Whitworth.
The real problem with the O-line is that we have a C that really sucks. That can be addressed in the 2nd round if need be. We really need a pass rusher and hopefully we take Tim Williams either at 9 or by moving back. I have a feeling that Guenther and Marvin could carve out a Peter Boulware type role for him. He immediately makes our secondary better with his pass rush.
