I don't necessarily disagree with the Wilson pick but the "perception" that the Bengals under emphasize the OL personnel has been prominent since the release of Big Whit and Big Z for years now.  I like Fred Johnson but he and J. Williams are unknowns.  My guess is that Jones had some background noise that has not been made public and I would guess that the Bengals have a psychological profile in terms of leadership and work ethic that Jones did not meet.
