Walter Football (the draft site I've used for years) had this to say on their live mock yesterday:
I know people are thinking "yeah we know", but there are a small handful of people on this board that think our tackles are ok or "getting better" and the line as a whole isn't the reason we're losing. Those people apparently need a dose of reality.

The Bengals have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. Their only viable starter is left guard Clint Boling. They need two new tackles, a better center, and a second talented guard.
NFL teams and scouts absolutely love Quenton Nelson. He's viewed as an elite prospect. He's a guard, so he may have trouble being chosen in the top five, though it's not completely impossible. He's viewed as the next Logan Mankins, so I'll be surprised if he's not taken in the initial 10 selections.

No one should be surprised if the Bengals double up on offensive linemen in the first couple of rounds in the 2018 NFL Draft, based on how the blocking unit has performed.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
