However, if looking at an OT this year for potential franchise LT, Garret Bolles from Utah could be a sound pick. He's extremely athletic, and you know how much PA loves his athletic OTs.
Julie'n Davenport has ideal measurables for LT, but lacks technique specifically. This is something that can be coached. I could see a scenario where Ogbuehi is given the chance to start 2017 at LT while Davenport backs him up. Davenport could be groomed into the starting LT by 2018 or 2019 if Ogbuehi ends up not panning out.
Either way, I think the one player the Bengals couldn't afford to lose just walked out the door. I'm preparing for a "miss the playoffs" season again.
Good names i just have no faith in PA coaching any of those guys up. We would need someone somewhat polished like Wagner.
No hope for Og right now, Fisher is much better in every way right now and that is not saying much as he regressed from his rookie season.
Davenport might be a good pick but that is if we have a decent O-line coach. Really, PA just keeps biting us in the ass and we keep sitting on
the bar stool. I completely agree, losing Whitworth was the one guy the Bengals couldn't afford to lose. Doesn't matter how good our D is if
they are on the field all day and our QB is hurt.
