Bengals draft makes statement that they are not worried about the O-line

Beyond that...they just went BAP. It's doubtful that they would have found a starter on the offensive line in Rounds 3+.

They have to play Ced to develop him. I remember guys like Boling and Levi Jones struggled initially...so there is hope.

If they drafted a rookie in Round 3 and started him...he would have struggled too.

The team would of had to make a trade to get into position to draft one of the top tackles or Lamp for guard. But that would have meant not selecting Mixon.

Og didn't just struggle last year, he played very, very poorly from either side.

The backup plan is clearly Fisher to LT with either Andre or Winston holding down the RT spot. Fisher at least didn't play too poorly like Og did.
