Burrow can make anyone look good and we'll be able to find free agents wanting to play with him if Higgins leaves next year.

I do like Johnson's big play ability and his height (how he goes up to get the ball), so the value might be too much to pass up on.

He could go in the top ten of the second round, so maybe we trade back a few spots from 32 to pick up an extra pick and still grab him.

I'd have a hard time picking an OL in the early rounds only to ride the bench the first two years.
And they'd be riding the bench behind Collins, Cappa, Karras, and (hopefully re-signed) Jonah Williams.
Totally on board with taking an IOL early though if LG isn't solidified this year.
I made an assumption that someone solidified LG this year and the Bengals re-sign Jonah, thus setting the starting OL through 2024.
