For the Fans on here saying to get an OL and build from inside out, I'd agree with you most of the time.
But, I am totally against reaching for a Need. If you have several players ranked ahead of the next OL at that time in the draft, reaching for that need just kills football teams.
In this instance, the remaining top ranked OL players are:
Rank 39---Joshua Jones OT
Rank 52---Lloyd Cushenberry Center
Rank 53---Ezra Cleveland OT
Rank 60---Robert Hunt OT/G
Rank 63---Saahdiq Charles OT
So, Josh is a Left Tackle, that's what he played at Houston and that's what he played at the Senior Bowl. I'm not high on position changes for OT's if you're going to be picking them as basically a 1st Rounder.
We don't need another Center on our team in Cushenberry unless we decide he'd be better than Hopkins and then we have to move Hopkins over to LG?
Ezra Cleveland isn't big enough for what I think the Bengals OL coach likes.
So, that's why I don't have any OL being taken at pick #33.
I'd rather pray that Robert Hunt is available at our pick #65 at this stage.
Maybe the Bengals have some of these OL ranked higher as well? And, one will be their pick. But, according to Daniel Jeremiah, the talent is at the WR and RB positions.
