A couple posts above i listed the numerous ways the Bengals can take Burrow #1OA and still improve the line immensely.
You mentioned it by claiming that we should take Jack Conklin.... you know the guy that the Titan declined to use their 5th year contract on?
That doesn't address our OLine, that is taking cast offs from other teams and hoping to patch a hole with a guy that the team that drafted him isn't interested in keeping.
Scherff is considered a top OG in the NFL. Either the Redskins retain him or he goes to the highest bidder. If you think the Bengals will bid highly for an OG then I don't know what else to tell you. We let Zeitler go and even Steinbach, Scherff isn't a possibility for us. I could be wrong and I hope that I am, but us getting him is almost as much a fantasy of us taking OT, OG and OC in the draft this year, which is what I want us to do.
We could repair this line through the draft and if Conklin isn't overpaid by someone else, I would be fine with bringing him in as a stop gap / back up at the position.
