LOL
My point still stands, Ossai and Sample were both mistake picks when this team needed o-line. Most of those guys that you listed were better than quite a few of the stiffs on the Bengals o-line going into training camp. The FACT that they are still in the league and most of that 2021 Bengals o-line are not in the league is exactly what I was pointing out.
I see that you joined in September of '21, well that explains a lot. If you were here six months prior, you would have experienced the ''Team Chase vs Team Sewell'' debates. One of the main arguments from Team Chase was ''This is a deep OL draft. You can get quality into the 4th round'', mainly because this was the consensus of most draft sites leading up to the draft. But, as we sit here with another season where the star QB didn't finish the season due to another hit from a non-sack, I guess you're right. A backup DE with a sack every 9 and a half games is more important than depth on the o-line. Wasn't it the lack of depth on the o-line at the end of the season in 2022 the main reason as to why they missed the Super Bowl?
I also see that you like comparing the 2021 draft picks to Cordell Volson, which is hilarious because Volson is a by-product of them failing the team in 2021. They chose to draft for facing KC instead of the AFC North in 2021 and continued it the following year. Hill, CTB, and undersized AFC North DT Carter before grabbing a late 4th round OT and moved him to LG. They started him and kept him in there, regardless of his poor performances. I believe that the team would be better today, if they would have had that approach with Carman or another o-lineman in 2021, but all they did after picking Chase, outside of McPherson, was draft three OL projects and FOUR backup DL players.
And if Ossai and Sample weren't mistakes, why did they draft Myles Murphy just two years later? Spending a first round pick on another backup DE? Eventually, mistakes like that catch up to teams.
